Hold still
Don't 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't deceive
The heart that's 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't know
What love can do

I
I pledge to you
That I won't deceive
The heart that's mine

Dead from the grave
We抮e all slaves
To what we've got

Love
Is been through
The door
For days
