Come O My Love



Come O my love, and fare you well (2x)

You slighted me, but I wish you well.



The winter has gone, and the leaves turn green;

Your innocent face, I wish I never had seen.



The prison doors roll open wide;

Upon my coffin, they made me ride.



Come O my love, and fare you well

You slighted me, but I wish you well.



All in dark dungeons I was placed

Until the day of May eleventh I faced.



The rope was bought and the bow was swung

An innocent man you all have hung.

Come O my love, and see me die

Lift your innocent face, see me dance in the sky.



Note: I don't know a damn thing about this song. It appeared

in a paperback collection called Frankie and Johnny in 1948,

and I never forgot it: nobody else seems to remember it. RG
