The Unthanks - Died For Love lyrics

A bald young farmer courted me He gained my heart my liberty He gained my heart with a free good will And i must confess that i love him still I wish i wish but its all in vain I wish i was a maid again But a maid again that never can be Since that young farmer lay still with me I wish my baby little was born and smilin on his fathers knee And i was dead and in my grave With the green gra** growin all over me There's a bird that sits in yonders tree Some say hes blind and cannot sing Oh i wish it being the same with me When first i met with your company But a marble stone at my head and feet But a turtle white dove To let the world know that i died for love
