Hold still
Dont move I say
Wilt thou hear
My elegy
Head high
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows
I and you and me
Well we just dont know
What love can do
I
I pledge to you
That I wont deceive
The heart thats mine
As here I sit
I vow
Your history does not
Perish my love
The shame
Will be mine for a
Scarlet woman thou art
I and you and me
Well we just dont know
What love can do
I
I pledge to you
That I wont deceive
The heart thats mine
Dead from the grave
Were all slaves
To what weve got
Love
Is been through
The door
For days
