I have waited the night over   For some word to come   I asked the moon o’er the clover   But the moon she is dumb      You have made me a promise   At midnight we’d go   And that we should be married   Sailing westward ho      Such words you have spoken   You have told me a lie   That it could not be broken   When you knew it must die      There’s no light in heaven   My eye can see   That my heart be imprisoned   While the devil go free   Go free      Like honey the ocean   In the morning breeze   I’ll take my tears to the water   That the rivers may freeze      There’s no light in heaven   Can shine for me   That my heart be imprisoned   While the devil go free   Go free      What folly is beauty   What trick of the skin   Desire it’s fancy   And ruin it’s whim   Your child within me   And what can I do   My blood fill with needles   That he look like you      There’s no light in heaven   My eye can see   That my heart be imprisoned   While the devil go free   My heart be imprisoned   While the devil go free   No light in heaven   No light for me
