Shirley Collins - Gilderoy lyrics
1. Now Gilderoy was a bonny boy and he would not the ribbons wear; he’s pulled off his scarlet coat, he gartered below his knee. He was beloved by the ladies so gay, he was such a rakish boy; he is my sovereign, my heart's delight, my handsome Gilderoy. 2. Young Gilderoy and I was born all in one town together, and at the age of seventeen we courted one each other. Our dads and mothers they both did agree and crowned with mirth and joy, to think that I should marry with the handsome bold young Gilderoy. 3. Now Gilderoy and I walked out all in the fields together, he took me round the waist so small, and down we went together; and when he had done all a man could do he rose and kissed his joy, he is my sovereign, my heart's delight, my handsome Gilderoy. 4. What a pity it is that man should hang for stealing of a women, where he neither robbed a house nor land, and he stole neither horse nor deer. For he was beloved by the old and young, And he was such a rakish boy, he was my sovereign, heart's delight, The handsome bold young Gilderoy. 5. Now Gilderoy they hung him high and a funeral for him we shall have, with a sword and a dagger by my side I’ll drag my true love to his grave; for he was beloved by the young and the old, And he was such a rakish boy, he was my sovereign heart's delight, my handsome Gilderoy. |
