Текст песни: The leaves of life + перевод

All under the leaves and the leaves of life

I met with virgins seven

And one of them was mary mild,

Our lord’s best mother in heaven.

''oh what are you seeking, my seven pretty maids,

All under the leaves of life? ''

''we are seeking for no leaves, thomas,

But for a friend of thine.''

''go down, go down into yonder town

And sit in the gallery

And there you’ll see sweet jesus christ,

Nailed to a big yew tree.''

So down they went into yonder town

And sat in the gallery

And there they saw sweet jesus christ,

Nailed to a big yew tree.

Yes down they went into yonder town

As fast as foot could follow

And many a sad and a lonely tear

From them virgin’s eyes did fall.
