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
