Demon Lover - Tim O'Brien |
| [00:06.52] |
Well met well met my own true love |
| [00:12.39] |
Well met well met cried he |
| [00:18.63] |
I've just returned from the salt salt sea |
| [00:24.53] |
And it's all for the sake of thee |
| [00:30.65] |
I've come for the vows that you promised me |
| [00:36.92] |
To be my partner in life |
| [00:42.64] |
She said my vows you must forgive |
| [00:48.92] |
For now I'm a wedded wife |
| [01:01.01] |
Yes I have married a house carpenter |
| [01:06.85] |
To him I've born two fine sons |
| [01:12.96] |
It's seven long years since you sailed to the west |
| [01:18.91] |
And I took you for dead and gone |
| [01:49.70] |
If I was to leave my husband dear |
| [01:55.55] |
And my two babies also |
| [02:01.56] |
Just what have you to take me to |
| [02:07.66] |
If with you I should now go |
| [02:13.96] |
I have seven ships out upon the sea |
| [02:19.91] |
And the eighth one that brought me to land |
| [02:25.82] |
With four and twenty bold mariners |
| [02:32.00] |
And music on every hand |
| [02:44.33] |
It was then she went to her two little babes |
| [02:50.14] |
And kissed them on cheek and on chin |
| [02:56.14] |
Saying fare thee well my sweet little ones |
| [03:02.13] |
I'll never see you again |
| [03:08.25] |
They had not sailed much more than a week |
| [03:14.39] |
I know that it was not three |
| [03:20.48] |
When altered grew his countinence |
| [03:26.54] |
And a raging came over the sea |
| [04:21.41] |
And when they reached the shore again |
| [04:27.36] |
On the far side of the sea |
| [04:33.47] |
It was there was she spied his cloven hoof |
| [04:39.58] |
And wept most bitterly |
| [04:48.90] |
Oh what is that mountain yon she cried |
| [04:54.81] |
So dreary with ice and with snow |
| [05:00.78] |
It is the mountain of hell he cried |
| [05:07.07] |
Where you and I now will go |
