I Heard The Banns 가사

I heard the banns published in church* I rose from my seat and went out in the porch I thought he'd be constant, as constant could be But now he is going to be married I saw my love in the church stand With a ring an his finger and a glove in his hand I thought to myself I should have been that one But now he is going to be married I saw my love to the church go With bride and bridesmaidens they made a fine show And I followed on with my burden of woe For now he is tied to some other I saw my love sit down to eat I sat down beside him but nothing could eat I thought his sweet company better that meat But now he is gone to some other Dig me a grave long, wide and deep And cover it over with flowers so sweet That I may lie down there to take a long sleep And that's the best way to forget him
