GREY LADY WALKS
V1
The story told on dark nights
By one child to the next
There was a big house, not far from here
Where there lived a witch!
Her family married her off to a rouge
Who lived with her for a year
His roving eye got the better of him
And he moved his lover in!
CHORUS:
Grey Lady walks the lane
Grey Lady walks the town
Woe and misery in her heart, looks high and low
Searching for a lost love, she was betrayed
V2
The lover soon fell pregnant
Baring the rogue a child
They knew they up had to get rid of the lady
So they bricked her up alive!
With her last breath she shouted a curse
Her tormentors end would come!
By Candlemass the fortune had gone
The child drowned in the well
V3
So, is there any truth to the story?
I wanted to know more
I read through the dusty old ledgers
And sure enough I found
There was a big house not far from here
That had fallen into despair
At the death of a child and a lady
But I could not find her name
CHORUS:
Grey Lady walks the lane
Grey Lady walks the town
Woe and misery in her heart, looks high and low
Searching for a lost love, she was betrayed
