about

essex song

lyrics

through bushes and through briars
i lately take my way
all for to hear the small birds sing
and the lambs to skip and play

all for to hear the small birds sing
and the lambs to skip and play

i overheard my own true love
his voice was loud and clear
long time i have been waiting for
the coming of my dear

long time i have been waiting for
the coming of my dear

sometimes i am uneasy
and troubled in my mind
sometimes i think i will go to him
and tell to him my mind

sometimes i think i will go to him
and tell to him my mind

but if i should go to my love
and my lover he'd say no
if i show to him my boldness
he'll never love me again

if i show to him my boldness
he'll never love me again

an old world under my feet
under my feet under my feet

no sign of the sunday bell or the wishing well or the maids a milking

meadows under my feet
under my street under my street

but where are the stable doors and the cobble floors and the anvil ringing?

but they left no trace when they covered this place
covered this place

to make a new world then
and to start again
from the flames of

london town
