Lady Jay Lyrics

by Wishbone Ash
from the album There's The Rub
Hear me when I cry,listen to my song
If Jay, my lovely lady,to the earth she did belong.
I, a country Sir loved her from my life,but the
manor lady's bright young son did take her for his wife.

Under forest branches she came to me,
Until the day she cried aloud a father I should be.
That was the last time that we met,I never saw her again,for she
took her life on Princeton Wharf to save my worthy name.

Gtr R ( play twice )
|Gtr L | | |
She found Death's open arms and lay in their embrace
I watched as icy fingers clawed her lovely face. Now I
stumble through the mist to where they laid her in her grave,and
daily I'll remember flowers for my Jay.
Far beyond this land I will take your hand,
The spirit of our love will live forever.
Far beyond the clouds we will laugh aloud,
The spirit of our love will live again.
(repeat ad lib to fade )
