lyrics

Fourteen long nights on the hillside alone
I came here amongst you to make myself known
Ale rare flowed, scarce meat on old bone
It's aye, I failed to prove

Bread and beer given by my wary host
Six of seven daughters saw none but a ghost
Of Maria I was given to boast
It's aye, I failed to prove
Aye, I failed

Hide a lie
Her bones they lie
Under the roots

T'was bakers and brewers who gave me open alms
And they who were jury to risen alarms
To her limp body I hold in my harm
It's aye, I failed to prove
Aye, I failed

Hide a lie
Her bones they lie
Under the roots
