Once I was invited to a nobleman's wedding
By a false lover that
proved so unkind
It causes me now to wear a green willow
It causes me now to bear a
troubled mind
Supper was over and everyone seated
Every young man sang his true love
a song
Until it came to the bride's own fond lover
The song that he sang to the bride it
belonged
Saying, "How can you lie on another man's pillow
As long as you have been a
sweetheart of mine?
It causes me now to wear a green willow
It causes me now to bear a
troubled mind"
The bride she sat at the head of the table
Every word she remembered
right well
Until at last she could bear it no longer
And down on the floor at the groom's
feet she fell
Saying, "There is one request that I ask as a favor
As it is the first
one, won't you grant it to me?
That this first night I may spend with my mother
The rest
of my life I will spend it with thee"
As it was the first one, it was truly
granted
Sighing and sobbing she went to her bed
Early next morning the groom he
arose
And went there to find that his Mary was dead
"Oh Mary, dear Mary, you never
have loved me
With a fond heart as I have loved you
May this be a warning to all men and
maidens
To never come between a bride and a groom
@wedding @love
@death
