Paroles The brown girl de Steeleye Span

Textes et Paroles de The brown girl

i'm as brown as brown can be,
my eyes are black as sloe.
i'm as brick as a night-time nightingale
as wild as the forest doe.

my love was high and proud,
a fortune by his side.
but a fairer maiden than ever i'll be
he took to his bride.

he sent me a letter of love,
he sent it from the town.
he wrote to tell me his love was gone
because i was so brown.

i sent back his letter of love,
and in anger i wrote down.
your love is wasted on such as me,
because i am so brown.

i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day.
i'll do as much for you as any maiden may.
i'll make you rue the very day that you were born.
i'm a bonny brown girl.

i heard not another word more,
until six months passed by.
a doctor said he had a broken heart,
without me he would die.

i went to his bedside,
i walked and never ran.
i laughed so loud and then louder still
all at this love-sick man.

i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day.
i'll do as much for you as any maiden may.
i'll make you rue the very day that you were born.
i'm a bonny brown girl.

"i prithee forget," said he,
"i prithee forget and forgive
oh, grant me just a little space
that i may be well and live."

i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day.
i'll do as much for you as any maiden may.
i'll make you rue the very day that you were born.
i'm a bonny brown girl.

i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day
for twelve months and a day.
you'll die for betraying a bonny brown girl
all on one summer's day.

i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day.
i'll do as much for you as any maiden may.
i'll make you rue the very day that you were born.
i'm a bonny brown girl.
