Re: Lyric request: A Nobleman's Wedding

As promised Esther. Is this the one you wanted? I will also email it
to you

Another Man's Wedding
(A Nobleman's Wedding)
as sung by Rosie Stewart
1
I was invited to another man's wedding
All by a fair one that proved so unkind.
And aye as she thought on her old former lover,
The thoughts of her darling still ran through her mind.
2
When dinner was over and all things were completed
It fell each young man's lot to sing a love song.
And it happened to fall on her own former lover,
To sing these few verses, it will nae take you long.
3
It's many's the Lord was seven years from his Lady.
And many's the Lord he never came back again.
But I was but one year away from my darling
When an unconstant lover to me she became
4
How can you sit at another man's table?
How can you drink of another man's wine?
How can you lie in the arms of another?
You that was so long a true lover of mine
5
The bride she was seated at the head of the table
And every word she remembered it well
To bear it in mind this young maid she was not able
And down at the Groom's feet she instantly fell
6
"There is one request and I will ask you no other
The first and the last love perhaps it may be
Only this one night to stay with my mother
The rest of my time I will share it all with you"
7
The request it was asked and just immediately answered
Sighing and sobbing she went to her bed.
And early next morning when the young Groom awoken
He went to her chamber and found that she was dead.
8
He lifted her up from her soft and downy pillow.
He carried her out into the garden so green.
With sheets and fine pillows, oh soon he did surround her.
Hoping that his young wife she might come to life again.
9
"Oh Sally, lovely Sally, when you and I were courting.
You vowed and declared that you loved none but me.
But them that depends on a fair maiden's folly
Their love it will decay like a bark of a tree.
10
All around my hat, I will wear the weeping willow
All around my hat until death comes over me.
And if anybody ask me why I wear the willow
It's all for my true love that I never more shall see
end
