¶Lyrics / Text

Under a green Elm Lies Luke Shepherd's Helm, That steer'd him ev'ry way, Wherefore now she's gone, Mourning there is none; He follow'd her Corpse in gray. He smil'd at the Grave, Like a fleering Knave; She'll tell him on't at the last day: For if we must rise With the same Body and Eyes, She'll have the same Tongue, folks say.
