My Heart Of Gold Lyrics


Christmas Carols

My Heart Of Gold Lyrics
My heart of gold as true as steel
As I me leaned on a bough;
In faith but if ye love me well
Lord so Robin lough.

1. My lady went to Canterbury
The Saint to be her boot;
She met with Kate of Malmsbury
Why shepyst thou in a apple root?
My heart,

2. Nine mile to Michelmas,
Our dame began to brew,
Michael set his mare to grass,
Lord so fast it snew.
My heart,

3. For you, love, I brake my glass,
Your gown is furred with blue;
The devil is dead: for there I was,
I wis it is full true.
My heart,

4. And if ye sleep the cock will crow,
True heart, think what I may,
Jake-a-napes will make a mow,
Look, who dare say him nay?
My heart,

5. I pray you have me now in mind,
I tell you of the matter,
He blew his horn against the wind;
The crow goeth to the water.
My heart,

6. Yes I tell you mickle more,
The cat lieth in the cradle,
I pray you keep true heart in store,
A penny for a ladle.
My heart,

7. I swear by St. Katherine of Kent,
The goose goeth to the green,
All our dog's tail is brent,
It is not as it ween.
My heart,

8. Tyrlery lorpyn the laverock sung,
So merrily pipes the sparrow:
The cow brake lose, the rope ran home,
Sir, God give you good morrow.
My heart,
