Elftones & Rhiannon Giddens Lyrics

"In A Garden So Green"

In a garden so green, in a May morening
Heard I my lady pleen of paramours
Said she, "My love so sweet, come you not yet, nor yet?
Heght you not me to meet amongst the flowrs?"

Elore, elore
Elore, elore
I love my lusty love
Elore lo

The skies upspringis, the dew down dingis
The sweet larks singis their hours of prime
Phoebus upsprentis, joy to rest wentis
Lost mine intent is and gone's the time

Elore, elore
Elore, elore
I love my lusty love
Elore lo

Danger my dead is, false fortune my feid is
Langour my leed is, but hope I despair
Disdaine my desyris, so strangeness my feir is
Deceit out of weir is, adew I fare

Elore, elore
Elore, elore
I love my lusty love
Elore lo

Then to my lady swyth did I my presence kyth
Saying, "My bird be blyth, am I not yours?"
Then in my arms two did I my lusty jo
And kisst her tymis mo then night hes hours

Elore, elore
Elore, elore
I love my lusty love
Elore lo

Live in hope, lady faire and repell all dispaire
Trust not that your true love shall you betrase
When deceit and languor banished is from your bowre
I'll be your paramour and shall you please

Elore, elore
Elore, elore
I love my lusty love
Elore lo
I love my lusty love
Elore lo
