LYRIC FOR SALE

By Karrie Ann Ogilvie

Why should I love this gentleman?
Why did I set him free?
Now that I released him from his prison,
I’m sure he feels beholden to me.

I love him beyond love
Beyond reason, wit or safety,
And he will love me too.
By him like a shadow I will dwell,
And he will be forever true.

I left him in the woods still in shackles;
How did he leave without a trace?
I do not know which way to turn;
Do I search or stay in this place?

I love him beyond love
Beyond reason, wit or safety,
And he will love me too.
By him like a shadow I will dwell,
And he will be forever true.

First I saw him,
Next, I pitied him
Then, I loved him — now pity me
I was grieved to see his misery
So I had to set him free

Now my father will be hanged
And I alone am to blame
Have you seen my Palamon
I must find him else die of shame

I love him beyond love
Beyond reason, wit or safety
And he will love me too
By him like a shadow I will dwell
And he will be forever true

I cannot rest till I find him
Until I know he’s safe and sound
The moon is down, the owl calls in the dawn
Do I see my grave there in the ground

Where am I now, I am very cold
The stars are all out too
Have you seen my Palamon
No?
He is in heaven

Hey, nonny nonny
Hey, nonny nonny
Hey, nonny nonny
Hey, nonny
Well, hey

Hey, hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, Nonny nonny
Hey

Well hailed, well hailed, you jolly gallants,
And whither now are you bound-a?
O, let me have your company
Till I come to the sound-a.

Hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, nonny nonny
Hey, hey, nonny nonny
Hey
