Long Lyrics - Cashavelly Morrison

When my daughter was barely sixteen, 

I began to wonder of all she'd seen. 

Before the sun rose on an icy morn', 

I woke to the screams of my darling first born. 

With my dagger in hand, I threw open the door, 

saw a man had taken her to the floor. 

(Chorus) 

Promise never tend my grave. 

Take the long-haired mare and go far, far away. 

The man had the eyes of my love. 

My husband, my one who'd stolen enough. 

A red sun rose on the love I'd divest. 

I pushed the dagger through his chest.

(Chorus) 

Promise never tend my grave. 

Take the long-haired mare and go far, far away. 

My daughter wailed, "I'm among the damned." 

"No, no, girl. I've untied your hands." 

I held a long white thread 

pulled from the lily laced on her bed. 

(Chorus) 

Promise never tend my grave. 

Take the long-haired mare and go far, far away. 

Promise never tend my grave. 

Take the long-haired mare and go far, far away. 

By sundown, I stood alone 

in a sunken cell of ashen stone. 

Before the gallows, I wept myself clean 

for my only daughter had been set free.
