A Maid in Bedlam
Abroad as I was walking
One evening in the spring
I heard a maid in Bedlam
So sweetly for to sing
Her chains she rattled with her hands
And thus replied she
"I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me!"
Oh cruel were his parents
That sent my love to sea
And cruel was the galleon
That bore my love from me
Yet I love his parents since they're his
Although they've ruined me
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me!
Would I become a swallow
Ascend into the air
And if I lost my lover
And could not find him there
I quickly would become a fish
And search the flowing sea
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
With straw I'll weave a garland
I'll weave it very fine
With roses, daisies, lilies
I'll mix the eglantine
And I'll present it to my love
When he returns from sea
For I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
Just as she sat there weeping
Her love he came on land
Then hearing she was in Bedlam
He ran straight out of hand
And he flew into her snow-white arms
And thus replied he
"I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me."
So now these two are married
And happy may they be
Like turtle Doves together
In love and unity
All pretty maids with patience wait
That have got loves at sea
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
One evening in the spring
I heard a maid in Bedlam
So sweetly for to sing
Her chains she rattled with her hands
And thus replied she
"I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me!"
Oh cruel were his parents
That sent my love to sea
And cruel was the galleon
That bore my love from me
Yet I love his parents since they're his
Although they've ruined me
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me!
Would I become a swallow
Ascend into the air
And if I lost my lover
And could not find him there
I quickly would become a fish
And search the flowing sea
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
With straw I'll weave a garland
I'll weave it very fine
With roses, daisies, lilies
I'll mix the eglantine
And I'll present it to my love
When he returns from sea
For I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
Just as she sat there weeping
Her love he came on land
Then hearing she was in Bedlam
He ran straight out of hand
And he flew into her snow-white arms
And thus replied he
"I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me."
So now these two are married
And happy may they be
Like turtle Doves together
In love and unity
All pretty maids with patience wait
That have got loves at sea
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
I love my love
Because I know
My love loves me
