The Cock

歌詞

As I stood under my love's window one night I cried so shrill, as shrill, as shrill, as shrill indeed My love she arose and put on her clothes And come down and let me in Now when I beheld my true love's charms My heart beat so faint, so very faint, so very faint And I gathered her up all in my arms And carried her off to bed Now in the first part of the night We did sport and play, so pretty play, so pretty play And in the second part of the night Asleep in me arms she lay Now my love she had a cock, and a pretty crowing cock And it crowed in the morn so very soon, so very soon My love, she thought it day and she hastened me away But it proved to be the light of the moon Now the cock it did crow and the wind it did blow As I tripped o'er the plain, so very plain, so very plain I wished myself back in my true love's arms And she in a bed again And I'll be true to my love as the sun do shine All over the fallow, fallow, fallow, fallow ground And if my love ain't true to me as I am to she Well, I'd rather she was lost than found
