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.
