THE GREY HAWK



Once I had a hawk, and a pretty grey hawk

She came and she went at request;

I loved her so well and so very very well

In my bosom she builded her nest, my brave boys

In my bosom she builded her nest.



Then I got a bell and tied to her foot

Thinking that she was my own

But she's taken a flight and gone away quite

And there's nobody knows where she's gone, my brave boys

And there's nobody knows where she's gone.



Then it's up streets I walk and down streets I run

Like one that is troubled in mind

l whooped and I hoed and I shouted aloud

But my little bird I could not find, my brave boys

But my little bird I could not find.

It's up the green meadows I walk

And down the green meadows I run

And there I did spy my pretty grey hawk

She was close by the side of a man, my brave boys

She was close by the side of a man.



He that hath got her, so e'en let him keep her

And make the best of her he can

For whether I have her or whether I do not

I will hawk with her still now and then, my brave boys

I will hawk with her still now and then.



Happy is he that hath got a good wife

And blessed is he that's got none

Cursed is he that courteth another's

And hath a good wife of his own, my brave boys

And hath a good wife of his own.
