Lady Gay - Joan Baez (瓊·貝茲)
There was a lady and a lady gay
Of children she had three
She sent them away to the North Country
To learn their grammaree
They'd not been gone but a very short time
Scarcely three weeks and a day
When death cruel death came hasting along
And stole those babies away
There is a King in Heaven she cried
A King of third degree
Send back send back my three little pages
This night send them back to me
She made a bed in the uppermost room
On it she put a white sheet
And over the top a golden spread
That they much better might sleep
Take it off take it off cried the older one
Take it off take it off cried he
For what's to become of this wide wicked world
Since sin has first begun
She set a table of linen fine
On it she placed bread and wine
Come eat come drink my three little pages
Come eat come drink of mine
We want none of your bread mother
Neither do we want your wine
For yonder stands our Savior deer
To him we must resign
Green grass is over our heads mother
Cold clay is over our feet
And every tear you shed for us
It wets our winding sheet
