Текст песни The Widow of Westmorland's Daughter - Fairport Convention
There
was
an
old
widow
in
Westmorland
who
had
no
daughter
but
one
And
she
has
prayed
both
night
and
day
she
should
keep
her
maidenhead
long
"Ah,
don't
be
daft,
mother,"
she
said,
"and
say
no
more
to
me
For
a
fine
young
man
in
the
Grenadier
Guards
my
maidenhead's
taken
from
me"
"You
saucy
cat,
you
impudent
cat,
a-cursed
may
you
be
If
some
idle
rogue
in
the
Grenadier
Guards
your
maidenhead's
taken
from
thee"
But
the
girlie's
off
to
the
Grenadier
Guards
as
fast
as
go
can
she
Saying
"Give
me
back
my
maidenhead,
my
mother
she
nags
at
me"
So
he
kissed
her
and
undressed
her
and
he
laid
her
on
the
bed
And
he
put
her
head
where
her
feet
were
before
and
gave
back
her
maidenhead
Then
he
kissed
her
and
he
dressed
her
with
a
rose
in
either
hand
Invited
her
round
to
St.
Mary's
church
to
see
his
fine
wedding
Oh,
the
girlie's
off
to
her
mammy's
house
as
fast
as
go
can
she
"I'm
as
full
a
maiden,
mammy
dear,
as
the
day
you
first
bore
me
He
kissed
me
and
undressed
me
and
he
laid
me
on
the
bed
Put
my
head
where
my
feet
were
before
and
he
gave
back
my
maidenhead
Then
he
kissed
me
and
he
dressed
me,
put
a
rose
in
either
hand
and
Invited
me
round
to
St.
Mary's
church
to
see
his
fine
wedding
"Ah,
never
on
foot,"
her
mammy
she
said,
"in
a
carriage
and
pair
you'll
ride
With
four
and
twenty
fine
young
girls
to
go
with
you
beside"
"Ah,
who
is
this?"
the
bride
she
said,
"She
comes
so
high
to
me"
"I
see
it
is
the
widow's
daughter
who
ran
home
and
told
her
mammy"
"How
could
she
do
it,
how
would
she
do
it,
how
could
she
do
it
for
shame?
Eleven
long
nights
I
lay
with
a
man
and
I
never
told
anyone"
"If
eleven
long
nights
you
lay
with
a
man,
you
never
shall
lie
with
me
I'd
rather
marry
the
widow's
daughter
who
ran
home
and
told
her
mammy"
