Layin' on my back in the newly mown grass
Rain is coming down but I know the clouds will pass
You bring me tea, say the babe's a-sleepin'
Lay down beside me, love ain't for keeping.
Black ash from the foundry hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed by the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting, the spring is seeping
Lay down my darling, love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me, love ain't for keeping.
Lay down beside me, love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darling, love ain't for keeping.
