How will you go play, in Sawan's dark haze,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
How will you play, alas,
How will you go play, in Sawan's dark haze,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?

How will you go alone, no friend by your side,
How will you go alone, no friend by your side,
As the ruffians surround, alas,
As the ruffians surround your path,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
As the ruffians surround your path,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
How will you go play, in Sawan's dark haze,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?

Fair one, seeing your face so bright,
Home they'll circle, a hundred times in sight.
Fair one, seeing your face so bright,
Fair one, seeing your face so bright,
Home they'll circle, a hundred times in sight.
How long they bind, alas,
How long they bind, these clouds of might,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
How long they bind, these clouds of might,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
How will you go play, in Sawan's dark haze,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?

How many climbed the gallows high,
How many faced the cross, to die,
How many climbed the gallows high,
How many faced the cross, to die,
How many climbed the gallows high,
How many crushed in prison's spinning eye,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
How many crushed in prison's spinning eye,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
How will you go play, in Sawan's dark haze,
As the clouds gather, fair maiden, in a daze?
