The Ballad Of Young Alban And Amandy

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
