Elegy Lyrics

Hold still

Don抰 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抰 know

What love can do

I

I pledge to you

That I won抰 deceive

The heart that抯 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抰 know

What love can do

I

I pledge to you

That I won抰 deceive

The heart that抯 mine

Dead from the grave

We抮e all slaves

To what we抳e got

Love

Is been through

The door

For days
