Hold still, don't move I say
Wilt thou hear my elegy
Head high,
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows
I and you and me well
We just don't know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won't deceive
The heart that's mine.
As here I sit
I vow
Your history
Does not
Perish my love
The shame
Will be mine, for a
Scarlet woman thou art
I and you and me well
We just don't know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won't deceive
The heart that's mine.
Dead from the grave
We're all slaves
To what we've got
Love's been through the door
For days.
Wilt thou hear my elegy
Head high,
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows
We just don't know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won't deceive
The heart that's mine.
I vow
Your history
Does not
Perish my love
The shame
Will be mine, for a
Scarlet woman thou art
We just don't know
What love can do
I,I pledge to you that
I won't deceive
The heart that's mine.
We're all slaves
To what we've got
Love's been through the door
For days.
