The Brown Girl - 2010 Remastered Version
i'm as brown as brown can be, my eyes are black as sloe. i'm as brick as a night-time nightingale as wild as the forest doe.
my love was high and proud, a fortune by his side. but a fairer maiden than ever i'll be he took to his bride.
he sent me a letter of love, he sent it from the town. he wrote to tell me his love was gone because i was so brown.
i sent back his letter of love, and in anger i wrote down. your love is wasted on such as me, because i am so brown.
i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day. i'll do as much for you as any maiden may. i'll make you rue the very day that you were born. i'm a bonny brown girl.
i heard not another word more, until six months passed by. a doctor said he had a broken heart, without me he would die.
i went to his bedside, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com i walked and never ran. i laughed so loud and then louder still all at this love-sick man.
i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day. i'll do as much for you as any maiden may. i'll make you rue the very day that you were born. i'm a bonny brown girl.
'i prithee forget,' said he, 'i prithee forget and forgive oh, grant me just a little space that i may be well and live.'
i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day. i'll do as much for you as any maiden may. i'll make you rue the very day that you were born. i'm a bonny brown girl.
i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day for twelve months and a day. you'll die for betraying a bonny brown girl all on one summer's day.
i'll dance upon your grave for twelve months and a day. i'll do as much for you as any maiden may. i'll make you rue the very day that you were born. i'm a bonny brown girl
