francisco el hombre The Lover's Ghost (English trad. - Child #248)

Supernatural ballad circulating in England as early as the 17th century. My take was inspired by the John Goodluck elegant version, from his memorable album The Suffolk Miracle, 1974. Here I use a Huss&Dalton custom 00-SP, standard tuning.

The Lover’s Ghost

"Oh you're welcome home again"
Said the young man to his love
"I've been waiting for you many's the night and day

But you look tired, you are pale"
Said the young man to his love
"You must never ever again go away"

"I must go away" she said
"When the little cock does crow
For its here I fear they will not let me stay oh!

But if I had my wish
Oh my dearest dear" she said
"This long night would never ever become the day"

"Oh my pretty little cock,
oh my handsome little cock
I do prey you do not crow before the day

Then your comb it shall be made
Of the very beaten gold
And your perches of the silver's very grey"

But this pretty little cock,
oh this handsome little cock
He crew a good full hour too soon.

"Oh my dearest dear" she said
"It is time for me to part,
It is now the going down of the moon."

"Oh but where is your bed?
Oh my dearest dear" he said
"And where are those white linen sheets?"

"And where are the maids,
oh the pretty serving maids
That must wait on you when you are so fast asleep?"

"Oh the clay it is my bed
Oh my dearest dear" she said
"And the shroud it is my white linen sheet

And the worms and creeping things
Oh they are the serving maids
They must wait on me when I am so fast asleep"
