Little Margaret (with Francesco Turrisi)

Little Margaret, sitting in her high hall chair

Combing back her long, yellow hair

Saw sweet William and his new-made bride

Riding up the road so near

She threw down her ivory comb

Threw back her long yellow hair

Said, "I'll go down and I'll bid him farewell

And I'll nevermore go there"

It was late in the night

They were fast asleep

Little Margaret appeared all dressed in white

Standing at their bed-feet

Saying, "How do you like your snow-white pillow?

How do you like your sheet?"

Saying, "How do you like that pretty fair maid

Who lays in your arms asleep?"

"Very well do I like my snow-white pillow

Well do I like my sheet

Much better do I like that pretty fair maid

Who stands at my bed-feet"

He called his serving man to go

Saddled the dappled roan

And he rode for her father's house that night

Knocked on the door alone

Saying, "Is Little Margaret in her room

Or is she in the hall?"

"Little Margaret's in her coal-black coffin

With her face turned toward the wall"

Unfold, unfold those snow-white robes

Be they ever so fine

For I want to kiss those cold, cold lips

For I know they'll never kiss mine

Three times he kissed her cold, cold hand

Twice he kissed her cheek

But once he kissed her cold cold lips

Then he fell in her arms asleep
