Elegy
Hold still, don’t 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 don’t know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won’t deceive
the heart that’s 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 don’t know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won’t deceive
the heart that’s mine.
Dead from the grave
we’re all slaves
to what we’ve got
Love’s been through the door
for days.
