The Unquiet Grave (child No. 78) Lyrics - Joan Baez

Cold blows the wind to my true love 

And gently drops the rain 

I've never had but one true love 

And in green-wood he lies slain 

I'll do as much for my true love 

As any young girl may 

I'll sit and mourn all on his grave 

For a twelve months and a day 

And when twelve months and a day was passed 

The ghost did rise and speak 

Why sittest thou all on my grave 

And will no let me sleep?

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Go fetch me water from the desert 

And blood from out the stone 

Go fetch me milk from a fair maid's breast 

That young man never has known 

How oft on yonder grave, sweetheart 

Where we were want to walk 

The fairest flower that e'er I saw 

Has withered to a stalk 

A stalk has withered and dead, sweetheart 

The flower will never return 

And since I've lost my own true love 

What can I do but yearn 

Photos 

When will we meet again, sweetheart 

When will we meet again? 

When the autumn leaves that fall from the trees 

Are green and spring up again
