William's Ghost
My true love, my own true William Where thou ever may be
This dark night I long to be with you, why have you gone from me
Though the night be dark as a dungeon, no light through the window pain
I'll be guided without a stumble into my true love's arms
I went to my true love's garden, on all Hollow's eve
Through a window pain whispered softly, rise my love with me
Who's that who's that at my window disturbing my long nights rest
Tis I your lover don't be discovered, open and let me in
He rose off his soft down pillow, opened and let me in
Both shook hands and embraced each other, oh Willie's back again
When the night was past and over, cocks began to crow
We both shook hands and cried and kissed, darling I must go
Oh Willie Willie where are your blushes of long ago
Mary Mary hold me and pray, Mary I'm a ghost
My true love, my own true William Where thou ever may be
This dark night I long to be with you, why have you gone from me
