The Ballad Of Young Alban And Amandy (Eastmountainsouth)

The sun had gone down Oer the hills in the west Its last beam had faded Oer the mountain crest Amandy was there.. friendless and forlorn With her face bathed in blood and her garments all torn Oh, amandy Oh, amandy The campfires were kindled Each warrior was there and amandy was bound Her white bosom bare It was vengeance that she counted in the eyes of her foe And sighed for the time When her suffering might close Oh, amandy... oh, amandy Oh, amandy yeah yeah... Oh, amandy... Young alban their leader Suddenly appeared With an eye like an eagle And a step like a deer He said, "brothers, if your victim be burned by a tree Young alban the leader Your victim shall be Oh, amandy Oh, amandy The next morning was a vision of red, white and blue Gliding oer the waters In a light, bark canoe Like a wild dove sails over the tide Young alban and amandy together did ride Young alban and amandy together did ride Oh, ride on Oh, amandy Oh, amandy Yeah... Oh, amandy
