Lyrics
Lovely Lady, you have come hither only to die.
And thus yield yourself to the will of the king.
My Lady say goodbye!
Lovely Lady, you are led to the Tower Green.
As you take your leave of the world, this will be your final scene.
The swordsman cometh, he will help you to open the door.
The swordsman cometh and the shadows will bind you no more.
So don’t you cry my Ladies! Dry your weeping eyes!
Lovely Lady, the time of atonement is near.
Commend your soul to the Lord!
My Lady do not fear!
Lovely Lady, they accused you without any cause.
And a swift full blow from the blade, will lead to your final repose.
They called out for treason, thus the men had been forced to confess.
They needed a reason, for the throne to enable your death.
So don’t you cry my Ladies! Dry your weeping eyes!
Dry your weeping eyes!
Lovely Lady, you have come hither only to die.
Commend your soul to the Lord!
My lady say goodbye!
The swordsman cometh, he will help you to open the door.
The swordsman cometh and the shadows will bind you no more.
So don’t you cry my Ladies! Dry your weeping eyes!
Dry your weeping eyes! Dry your weeping eyes!
