Death and The Lady 歌词

As I walked out alone one day All in the merry month of May I met a old man on my way All in the morning early His head was bald, his beard was grey His cheeks were like the mortal clay I asked him how he came that way All in the morning early [instrumental] My name is Death oh don't you see Lords, dukes and squires bow down to me And you must come along with me All in the morning early I'll give you gold and riches rare I'll give you costly robes to wear I'll give you all my earthly share If you'll spare me a little while longer [instrumental] Lady leave your robes aside No longer glory in your pride No more in life you may abide So come along with me And then the mortal toll was paid And all alone this pretty maid By Death so cruelly was betrayed And we all come stumbling after [instrumental]
