Sarah Brightman - Little Sir William Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Easter day was a holiday
  • Of all days of the year,
  • And all the little schoolfellows went out to play
  • But sir william was not there.
  • Mamma went to the school wife house
  • And knocked at the ring,
  • Saying, little sir william, if you are there,
  • Pray let your mother in.
  • The school wife opend the door and said:
  • He is not here today.
  • He is with the little schoolfellows out on the green
  • Playing some pretty play.
  • Mamma went to the boyne water
  • That is so wide and deep,
  • Saying, little sir william, if you are there,
  • Oh pity your mothers weep.
  • How can I pity your weep, mother,
  • And I so long in pain?
  • For the little pen knife sticks close to my heart
  • And the school wife hath me slain.
  • Go home, go home, my mother dear,
  • And prepare my winding sheet,
  • For tomorrow morning before eight oclock,
  • You with my body shall meet.
  • And lay my prayer book at my head,
  • And my grammar at my feet,
  • That all the little schoolfellows as they pass by
  • May read them for my sake.
