Danny Parker Lyrics - Gwyneth Moreland

Down in the Hollow old Danny Parker lies 

Deep in the wood his lost spirit cries 

Heart-broke with love and he paid with his life 

When he strod cross the mountain 

To make Eliza his wife 

Eliza the girl with the wild auburn hair 

Eyes grey as frost or the fog of despair 

Never could wait for a young man to hold 

Took in all she knew 

She was brazen and bold 

Creepin' in the fog 

Sleepin' a hollow log 

Trippin' over lillies in the pond 

Better get it now before the gettin's gone 

Danny stole to the door of his true love that night 

Window aglow in the gold lantern light 

Peered through the glass and his true love did see 

In the arms of another 

And his soul sailed free
