The Corn Queen/ Lyke Wake Dirge

by Widow's Weeds

/
1.
The Corn Queen Dances round the meadows Round the meadows-oh She holds court The crows They meet upon the meadows Upon the meadows-oh Is their church The stones they Sit upon the meadow They sit upon the meadow-oh They speak not The blood is spilt Onto the meadows Red corn in the meadows On harvest day The Corn Queen Dances round the meadows Round the meadows -oh She holds court The crows They meet upon the meadows Upon the meadow-oh Is their church The sun it sets Across the meadow Across the meadow-oh We all will go We all will go

This one night, this one night Every nighte and all Fire and sleet and candle-light And Christ receive thy soul When from hence away thou art past Every night and all To thorny wood thou com'st at last And Christ receive thy soul From Brig o' Dread whence thou may'st pass Every night and all To Purgatory fire thou com'st at last And Christ receive thy soul
