Falsehearted Chicken Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh the moon shines bright and the stars, they give light
While this fair miss, she worries alone, 'lone, 'lone
There is somethin' in the way that causes him to stay
While this fair miss, she worries alone
[Verse 1]
Her true love come at last, he come very fast
Come a-tripplin' through the plain
His fair miss arose and she drew on her clothes
For to welcome her old lover in, in, in
For to welcome her own lover in
[Verse 2]
Oh my pretty chicken, my sweet crowin' chicken
Do not crow before day
And I'll make you the wings of the beadin' yellow gold
And a comb of the silver so gay, gay, gay
And a comb of the silber so gay
[Verse 3]
But this chicken proved falsehearted
He crowed one hour too soon
Her true love went away before the break of day
And he rode by the light of the moon, moon, moon
And he rode by the light of the moon
[Verse 4]
She saddled up her milk white steed

Also her dapple grey
She rode until the edge of the wood
And until the break of day, day, day
And until the end of the day
[Verse 5]
"Oh my true, true love, my sweet turtledove
When will I see you again?"
"When the sun and the moon shine in the north sea
And the sky shall shed no more rain, rain, rain
And the sky shall shed no more rain"
[Outro]
Oh the moon shines bright and the stars, they give light
While this fair miss, she worries alone, 'lone, 'lone
