Elegy

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 and

We just don't know

What love can do

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 and

We just don't know

What love can do

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
