| | Her Mantle So Green Lyrics Artist(Band):Sinead O'Connor
To view the fair fields and the valleys in bloom, I spied a pretty fair maid she appeared like a queen With her costly fine robes and her mantle so green. Says I, "My pretty fair maid, won't you come with me We'll both join in wedlock, and married we'll be, I'll dress you in fine linen, you'll appear like a queen, With your costly fine robes and your mantle so green." Says she now, "My Young man, you must be excused, For I'll wed with no man, so you must be refused; To the green woods I will wander and shun all men's view, . For the boy that I love dearly lies in famed Waterloo." "Well if you are not married, say your lover's name, I fought in the battle so I might know the same." "Draw near to my garment and there you will see, His name is embroidered on my mantle so green." In the ribbon of her mantle there I did behold His name and his surname in letters of gold; Young William O'Reilly appeared in my view He was my chief comrade back in famed Waterloo. And as he lay dying I heard his last cry 'If you were here, Lovely Nancy, I'd be willing to die;' And as i told her this story, in anguish she flew. And the more that I told her the paler she grew. So I smiled on my Nancy, twas I broke your heart, In your father's garden that day we did part. And this is a truth and the truth I declare, Well here's your love token, the gold ring I wear If you find some error in Her Mantle So Green Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
