Flowers Of The Forest Lyrics - Fairport Convention

I've heard them lilting 

At our yowe milking 

And I've heard them lilting 

Before light o' day 

Now they are mourning 

For all lamenting 

The flowers of the forest 

Are all wede away 

Sad they for the order 

That sent them to the border 

The English by guile 

For once won the day 

Now they are mourning 

For all time lamenting 

The flowers of the forest 

Are all wede away 

I've heard them lilting 

At our yowe milking 

And I've heard them lilting 

Before light o' day 

Now they are mourning 

For all time lamenting 

The flowers of the forest 

Are all wede away
