Cold Mountain movie - Lady Margret lyrics
rate meSong by Cassie Franklin<br /><br>
Lady Margret was standing in her own room door<br>
A comb in her long yellow hair<br>
When who did she spy but sweet William and his bride<br>
As to the churchyard they drew near<br>
The day passed away and the night coming on<br>
Most of the men were asleep<br>
Lady Margret appeared all dressed in white<br>
Standing at his bed feet<br>
She said "How do you like your bed? And how do you like your sheet? <br>
And how do you like your fair, young bride that's laying in your arms asleep?"<br>
He said "Very well do I like my bed. Much better do I like my sheet. <br>
But most of all that fair, young girl standing at my bed feet."<br>
Then once he kissed her lily white hand<br>
And twice he kissed her cheek<br>
Three times he kissed her cold corpsy lips then he fell into her arms asleep.<br>
The night passed away and the day came on<br>
Into the morning light<br>
Sweet William said "I'm troubled in my head by the dreams that I dreamed last night. <br>
Such dreams, such dreams as these I know they mean no good. <br>
For I dreamed that my bower was full of red swine and my bride's bed full of blood."<br>
He asked "Is Lady Margret in her room? Or is she out in the hall?"<br>
But Lady Margret lay in a cold, black coffin with her face turned to the wall.<br>
Throw back, throw back those snow white robe<br>
Be they ever so fine.<br>
And let me kiss those cold corpsy lips for I know they'll never kiss mine.<br>
Then once he kissed her lily white hand<br>
And twice he kissed her cheek<br>
Three times he kissed her cold corpsy lips then he fell into her arms asleep.<br>
<br>
