lirik lagu frank harte - mantle of green
[verse 1]
as i went a walking one morning in june
to view the fair fields, and the meadows in bloom
i espied a young damsel, she appeared like a queen
in her costly fine robes and her mantle of green
i stood in amazement i was struck with surprise
for i thought her an angel that fell from the skies
her eyes shone like diamonds, her cheeks like the rose
she was one of the fairest that nature composеd
[verse 2]
i said, “pretty fair maid, will you come with me
wе will both join in wedlock, and married we’ll be
i’ll dress you in rich vesture you’ll appear like a queen
in your costly fine robes and your mantle of green
she answered me, “young man, you must me excuse
for i’ll wed with no one, and i can but refuse
through the green woods i’ll wander and shun all men’s view
since the lad that i loved fell at famed waterloo”
[verse 3]
“now since you will not marry tell me your love’s name
for i fought in the battle and i might know the same”
“draw near to my garment, and there ’twill be seen
his name all embroidered on my mantle of green
and, in raising her garment, i there did behold
his name and his surname in letters of gold
young willie o’riley, appeared in my view
he was my chief comrade at famed waterloo
[verse 4]
“well, your true love and i fought where bullets did fly
but on that far field of battle your true love does lie
we fought for three days till the fourth afternoon
when he received his death summons on the eigteenth of june
and as he lay dying these words he did cry;
‘if you were here, lovely nancy, contented i’d die’
as i told her this story, in anguish she flew
and the more that i told her, the paler she grew.”
[verse 5]
then i smiled on my nancy saying, “’twas i broke your heart
in your father’s garden, that day we did part
and this is the truth, unto you i declare
here is your love token, the gold ring i wear”
now this couple have married i heard people say
that great n0bles attended on their wedding day
he has dressed her in silk, she appeared like a queen
in her costly fine robes and her mantle of green
