lirik lagu jim moray - another man's wedding
i was invited to another man’s wedding
all by a fair one who proved so unkind
and aye as she thought, on her own former lover
the thoughts of her own true love came into mind
in the church we were seated and the priest then he asked her
if objection was raised by anyone there
and i thought to myself, but i didn’t raise an answer
and i toasted the couple as if i didn’t care
but when supper was over and all things were completed
it fell to a young man to sing them a song
and the lot it fell out on her own former lover
i’ll sing you three verses, they won’t take me long
for it’s many the song from a lord to his lady
after seven long years is re~united again
but i was only but one year away from my darling
when an unconstant lover to me she became
how can you sit at another man’s table?
and how can you drink of another man’s wine?
oh, and how can you lie in the arms of another?
you who were once a true love of mine
and the bride she was seated at the head of the table
and every word she remembered it well
but to bear it in mind, this young girl she was not able
and down at the bridegroom’s feet she instantly fell
saying there is one request and i’ll ask for no other
the first and the last, love, i swear it will be
only this night for to lie with my mother
the rest of my life i swear i spend it with thee
the request it was heard and immediately granted
and sighing and sobbing she went to her bed
and it’s early next morning, the young bridegroom was awoken
went to his love’s chamber and found his bride was dead
he lifted her up from her soft downy pillow
and carried her out to the garden so green
and with sheets and fine pillows, so soon did surround her
still thinking that his young bride would come to life again
oh sally, my dear, when first we were courting
you vowed and declared you loved no one but me
and since young me rely on a young maiden’s folly
our love it will decay like the bark on the tree
all round my hat i will wear the green willow
all round my hat until death comes to me
and if anyone asks me just why i wear the willow
well it is all for my own true love that i never more shall see
