"Oh no, fair maiden, he is not here For he's been drownded, we greatly fear On yon green island, as we passed it by There we lost sight of your sailing boy" Well, she rung her hands and she tore her hair She was like a young girl in great despair And her little boat against a rock did run "How can I live now? My sweet William is gone Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Come All Ye Rolling Minstrels, Crazy Man Michael, Dawn, Decameron, Doctor Of Physick, Eastern Rain, Farewell, Farewell, Flowers of the Forest, Fotheringay, Genesis Hall, I Dont Know Where I Stand, Ill Keep It With Mine, If (Stomp), Iron Lion, Its Alright Ma, Its Only Witchcraft, Jack ODiamonds, Jack Orion, Jack Odiamonds, Jack Orion, John Barleycorn, Lady Of Pleasure, Let It Go, London River, Lord Marlborough, Matty Groves, Meet on the Ledge, Million Dollar Bash, Mr. Lacey, Night-Time Girl, No Mans Land, No Mans Land, Nottamun Town, Now Be Thankful, One More Chance, One Sure Thing, Over The Next Hill, Part I, Part Ii, Part Iv, Part Iv The Sailors Alphabet, Part Ix, Part V, Part V John Lee, Part Vi, Part Vi Breakfast In Mayfair, Part Vii, Part Viii, Part X, Part Xi, Part Xi The Hanging Song, Other Fairport Convention song Lyrics After Halloween Lyrics Angel Delight Lyrics Autopsy Lyrics The Banks Of Sweet Primroses Lyrics Big William Lyrics Book Song Lyrics Bring em Down Lyrics Bring Em Down Lyrics Cajun Woman Lyrics Chelsea Morning Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Fairweather Lyrics Fairyland Lyrics Fairytale Lyrics Faith Lyrics Faith And The Muse Lyrics Faith Blind Lyrics Faith Evans Lyrics Faith Evans F/ 112 Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Carl Thomas Lyrics Faith Evans F/ Mary J.
