Susannes Folksong-Notizen English Notes
The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington(Trad - Child 105) There was a youth, and a well-beloved youth, and he was a squire's son Yet she was shy, did not believe that he could love her so And when his friends did understand his fond and foolish mind When he'd been there for seven long years he longed his love to see When all the maids of Islington went forth to sport and play And as she walked along the high road, the weather being hot and dry She started up with her colour so red, seized his bridle-rein Before I give you a penny, sweetheart, tell me, dost thou know If she be dead you can take my horse, saddle and bridle too Oh stay, oh stay, thou goodly youth, she standeth by your side Oh farewell grief and welcome joy ten thousand times therefore |
