「歌曲」Kathy Larisch、Carol McComb - The Grey Cock

"O saw ye not my true love
A-coming o'er the lea?
He's been awa' these long seven years
Since he took leave of me.

And it's seven long years since he took leave
And it's seven more I'll wait
If he's not here at the end of them
I'll mourn for my true mate.

O hush your weeping, my own true love
And I will tell to thee
How I've been serving a foreign king
Across the salt, salt sea.

I've been serving a foreign king
And now my time is done
And I am come to my own true love
And the weary wars are won.

O come to my arms, my own true love
And tell me how you fare
And I'll hold you close to my own heart
And never more to part.

O I cannot come to your arms, my love
Nor tell to you my pain
For I am pledged to another love
And I cannot come again.

O the grey cock crew and he crew full fair
The dun cock crew and he crew full gray
The red sun rises on yonder hill
And it's time, love, to be away.

O the grey cock crew and he crew too soon
He waked me out of my dream
I thought I held my own true love
When it was but a beam.

O the grey cock crew and he crew too soon
He waked me out of my sleep
I thought I held my own true love
When it was but a heap."
