lirik lagu frank harte - the holland hadkerchief
[verse 1]
a wealthy squire lived in our town;
he was a man of high renown
he had one daughter, a beauty bright
and the name he called her was his heart’s delight
now many young men for to court her came
but none of them could her favor gain;
till there came a lad of a low degree
and above them all she did fancy he
but when her father he came to know
that his lovely daughter loved this young man so
over fifty miles he sent her away
all to deprive them of their wedding day
[verse 2]
one night as she lay in her bedroom
her love he appeared from out of the gloom
well, he touched her hand and to her did say
“arise my darling and come away.”
with her true love she got on behind
and they rode swifter than any wind
they rode all along for an hour or more
till he cried, “my darling, my head feels sore!”
a holland handkerchief she then took out
and with it wrapped his aching head about
she kissed his lips and to him did say
“my love you are colder than any clay.”
[verse 3]
they rode till they cam to her father’s gate
he said, “get down love for ‘tis getting late!
get down, get down and go into bed
and i’ll see that your horse is both groomed and fed.”
and when she knocked at her father’s hall
“who’s there, who’s there?” her own father did call
“ ‘tis i dearest father did you send for me?;
by such a messenger and naming he?”
“oh no dear daughter that cannot be
your words are false and you lie to me;
for on yon far mountain your true love died
and in yon green meadow his body lies.”
[verse 4]
well, the truth it did dawn on this maiden brave
and with her friend she exposed the grave;
where lay her true love full nine months dead
with a holland handkerchief around his head
[verse 5]
“woe to all parents”, as i say still
who deprive true lovers of their own sweet will
for once their promises and vows they give
they can ne’er recall them back whilst they live
