Corpus Christi Carol

Jeff Buckley

Grace (1994)

 

He bear her off, he bear her down

He bear her into an orchard ground

 

Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay

The falcon hath bourne my mate away

 

And in this orchard there was a hold

That was hanged with purple and gold

And in that hold there was a bed

And it was hanged with gold so red

 

Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay

The falcon hath bourne my mate away

 

And on this bed there lyeth a knight

His wound is bleeding day and night

By his bedside kneeleth a maid

And she weepeth both night and day

 

Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay

The falcon hath bourne my mate away

 

By his bedside standeth a stone

Corpus christi written thereon
