Clerk Saunders
Oh it was a dark and a rainy night
as ever rained from town to town
Clerk Saunders and his lady gay
were walking in the fields so brown.
A bed, a bed, Clerk Saunders said,
a bed, a bed for you and me
never a one said the lady gay
until that we two married be.
For it's I have seven brothers bold
and they are all valiant men
and if they knew a man did tread my bower,
his life would not go long with him.
Then you'll take me up all in your arms
and carry me into your bed
that you may swear and save your oath
that your bower floor I ne'er did tread.
Then you'll take a long cloth in your hands, you'll
hold it up before your eyes
that you may swear and save your oath
that you ne'er saw Sandy since yestere'en.
Well they were not long into the room
nor yet long slept into the night
when in and came her seven brothers
with all their torches burning bright.
And out and spoke the first of them
oh but it's long since this love began
and out and spoke the next of them
it's a sin to kill a sleeping man.
And out and spoke the third of them
oh we should go and let him be
and out and spoke the fourth of them
he'll not be killed this night by me.
And out and spoke the fifth of them
oh but their love is wondrous keen
and out and spoke the sixth of them
it's a sin to kill a sleeping man.
But out and spoke the seventh brother
aye and an angry man was he
if there were no more men alive
Clerk Saunders butcher I would be.
And he's ta'en out his trusty sword
he drew it three times through the straw
and through and through Clerk Saunders body
he made that trusty rapier go.
And there they lay in each other's arms
until the day began to dawn
and kindly to him she did say
oh it's time my dear you were away.
Oh you are the sleepiest young man she said
that ever my two eyes did see
you've lain all night into my arms
and I'm sure it is a shame to be.
Awake awake Clerk Saunders she said
awake awake for sin and shame
for the sheets they are asweat she said
and I am afraid we will be ta'en
Then she turned the blanket to the foot
she turned the sheets unto the wall
and there she saw his bloody wounds
and aye she let the tears downfall
Oh woe be to my seven brothers
they killed him sleeping in his bed
if they had fought him in battle fair
there would many a drop of blood been shed.
Oh there's ne'er a coat will go on my back
and ne'er a comb will go in my hair
neither coal not candlelight
shall shine in my bower anymore.

Oh Are You Sleeping Maggie
Dark and rainy is the night,
There's not a star in all the carry.
Lightnings gleam across the sky ,
and winds drive with winter fury.
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
is roaring o'er the warlock's craggie.
Fearful sighs the boor tree bank
the rifted woods roar wild and dreary.
Loud the iron gate does clank
and cry of owlets makes me eerie.
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
is roaring o'er the warlock's craggie.
Above my breath I dare not speak,
for fear I raise your sleepless daddie.
Cold's the blast upon my cheek,
oh rise, rise my bonnie lady.
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
is roaring o'er the warlock's craggie.
She opened the door, she let him in,
he cast aside his dripping plaidie.
Blow your worst, you rain and wind,
since Maggie now I'm in beside ye.
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Oh are you sleeping Maggie?
Let me in, for loud the linn
is roaring o'er the warlock's craggie.

The Irish Girl
As I roved out one May morning down by a river side
In gazing all around me, oh an Irish girl I spied.
A tear fell down her rosy cheek and she began to cry
Oh my love, he's gone to America and he's quite forsaken me.
I went to church last Sunday, my love he passed me by
I knew his mind was changing by the roving of his eye
I knew his mind was altered to a girl of high degree
Oh Willie, lovely Willie, oh your love has wounded me.
Last night as I lay on my bed, so sick and bad was I
I called for a napkin around my head, around my head to tie.
Was he as bad in love as me I would surely mend again.
Oh love it is a killing thing, did you ever feel the pain?
I wish I was a butterfly, I would fly to my love's breast.
I wish I was a linnet, I would sing my love to rest.
I wish I was a nightingale, I would sit and sing so clear.
I'd sing a song for you, false love, for once I loved you dear.
