1
I am stretched on your grave
2
And I'll lie there forever
3
If your hands were in mine
4
I'd be sure we'd not sever
5
My apple tree, my brightness,
6
It's time we were together
7
For I smell of the Earth
8
And I'm worn by the weather.
9
When my family thinks
10
That I'm safely in my bed
11
From morn until night
12
I am stretched at your head
13
Calling out to the air
14
With tears both hot and wild
15
For the loss of a girl
16
I loved as a child.
17
Do you remember the night
18
The night when we were lost
19
In the shade of the blackthorn
20
And the chill of the frost?
21
Oh, and thanks be to Jesus
22
We did what was right
23
And your maidenhead still
24
Is your pillar of light.
25
I am stretched on your grave
26
And I'll lie there forever
27
If your hands were in mine
28
I'd be sure we'd not sever
29
Oh, the priests and the friars
30
They approach me in dread
31
For I love you still
32
My wife, and you're dead
33
I still will be your shelter
34
Through rain and through storm
35
And with you in your cold grave
36
I cannot sleep warm
37
So I am stretched on your grave
38
And I'll lie there forever
39
If your hands were in mine
40
I'd be sure we'd not sever
41
My apple tree, my brightness,
42
It's time we were together
43
For I smell of the Earth
44
And I'm worn by the weather.
45
So I am stretched on your grave
46
And I'll lie there forever
47
If your hands were in mine
48
I'd be sure we'd not sever
