O Lover Drowned Lover

Download Song

From "Down the Wrong Pipe"

Janie, Janie, by and by
My father bids me to wed another
Let us swear that we both shall die
Ere this rude villainy comes

Janie led me to Boarsthorne Crick
And waded up to her raven sashes
She drew my hands to her slender neck
And she fell to her knees

O lover, drowned lover
O lover, lover drowned
We are by this covenant bound

An age it seemed til I loosed my grip
The vulgar poison I now unstoppered
I drew the vial to my lip
But my will fled

Through the shallows those eyes look
At I, the wretched and gutless dastard
To the altar your rival took
While you stared evermore

O lover, drowned lover
O lover, lover drowned
We are by this covenant bound

O lover, drowned lover
O lover, lover drowned
We are by this covenant bound

Janie, Janie, by and by
My father bids me to wed another
Let us swear that we both shall die
Ere this rude villainy comes
