a maid in bedlam

abroad as i was walking
one evening in the spring
i heard a maid in bedlam
who mournfully did sing
her chains she rattled on her hands, and thus replied she

i love my love
because i know my
love loves me

oh cruel were his parents
who sent my love to sea
and cruel was the sailing ship
that bore my love from me
yet i love his parents since their his, although they've ruined me

i love my love
because i know my
love loves me

with straw i'll weave a garland,
i'll weave it wondrous fine
with roses, lilies,
daisies i'll mix the eglantine
and i'll present it to my love when he returns from sea

i love my love
because i know my
love loves me

just as she sat there weeping
her love, he came on land
then hearing she was in bedlam
he ran straight out of hand
he flew into her snow-white arms, and thus replied he

i love my love
because i know my
love loves me

she said, my love, don't frighten me
are you my love or no ?
oh yes, my dearest nancy
i am your love also
i am returned to make amends for all your injury

i love my love
because i know my
love loves me

i love my love
because i know my
love loves me
