The Unthanks Died for Love song 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 grass 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
