Traditional

lyrics

Lady Margaret, sitting at her high hall door,
Combing back her long, yellow hair,
She saw Sweet William and his new-made bride
Riding from the church so near.

She throwed down her ivory comb,
Throwed back her long yellow hair,
Saying, I’ll go down and bid him farewell,
And nevermore go there.

It was all in the dark of night
When most were fast asleep,
Little Margaret appeared all dressed in white,
A-standing at their bed-feet.

How do you like your pillow, says she
How do you like your sheet?
How do you like that gay young lady
That’s lying in your arms asleep?

Very well do I like my pillow, says he
Much better do I like my sheet,
But best of all is that fair young maid
That’s standing at my bed-feet.

So he called his serving man to go
And saddle the dapple roan,
And he rode till he come to Lady Margaret’s house,
And stood outside alone.

Is Lady Margaret in her room,
Or is she in the hall?
No, Little Margaret’s in her coal-black coffin,
With her pale face to the wall.
