lyrics

(Traditional)

The first thing they gave me
Was a cap well lined with lead
The longer I wore it
It grew heavier on my head

Then they gave me a mantle to wear
Lined with grief and stitched with care
The drink they gave me was bitter gall
The food they gave me was worse than all

The last thing they gave me, gave me
Was a belt with colours three
First was shame, next was guilt
Last of all was sad misery

But I will climb up that high, high tree
And I will rob that wild bird's nest
And I will fall
Without fear

Must I be bound
While you go free?
Must I love one
Who never loved me?
