Wishbone Ash

Hear me when i cry,
Listen to my song
The jay, my lovely lady,
To the earth she did belong.
I can't trace her,
Lost her from my life,
But the manor lady's bright young son
Can take her for his wife.
Under the forest branches
She came to me,
Until the day she cried aloud
A father i should be.
That was the last time that we met,
I never saw her again,
For she took her life on princeton wharf
To save my worthy name.
