Pavan Lyrics

...PAVAN... by Amazing Blondel
*from 'Evensong' (1970)*
*CAPO 3rd FRET*
*Original Key: Bb)
Intro:
Verse 1:
Fare you well,
On the morrow I must leave,
And I'm bound,
For a far and distant land.
A tale would tell,
Of my poor heart,
And how it grieves,
So for you my love,
This sorrowful Pa-van.
Chorus 1:
I was born in Lincoln county,
And the son of a country wife am I.
Out of all the flowers,
Growing wild in yon forest,
You're the fairest rose,
On which I've laid an eye.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Love me hard,
With the dawn I'll be gone,
And I don't know,
If I'll be back a-gain.
God as my guard,
I'm the champion of the wronged,
Off to holy wars,
To fight the Sara-cen
Chorus 2:
I was born in Lincoln county,
And the son of a country wife am I.
Out of all the flowers,
Growing wild in yon forest,
You're the fairest rose,
On which I've laid an eye.
Interlude:
Bridge 1:
While you're away,
Does your spouse turn a whore?
Or a chastity belt maiden,
While cru-sader's at war?
I'm tired of my chain mail,
My armour makes me sore,
And it all seems so fu...tile.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
Weep you will,
But my love I cannot stay,
Dry your eyes and we'll share,
A parting kiss.
Wait un-til,
The advent of that day,
When I'm home,
And gone is sadness as this.
Chorus 3:
I was born in Lincoln county,
And the son of a country wife am I.
Out of all the flowers,
Growing wild in yon forest,
You're the fairest rose,
On which I've laid an eye.
