03 ME Song(Jill) and Chorus 1902 'Merrie England'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Mar 2003

[Jill:] Oh! Where the deer do lie!
There dwell I,
far in the forest shade,
down in a dappled glade,
Ah! where the deer do lie,
there dwell I.
Oh! What a life,
throw her a bone,
nobody's wife,
Ah! Jill all alone!

[All:] Oh what a life,
throw her a bone,
nobody's wife,
Jill, all alone.

[Jill:] Where Herne the Hunter rides
Jill abides;
I hear the ghostly sounds,
Herne's Phantom horn and hounds,
where Herne the Hunter rides,
Jill abides.
Oh! She's a witch,
pick up a stone!
Die in a ditch,
Ah! Jill, all alone.

[All:] Oh! She's a witch
Pick up a stone!

[Jill:] But when the morning breaks
and awakes all other forest things,
Jill, too, awakes,
awakes and sings.
Oh! the sweet day,
Queen on a throne,
merry as May, merry as May.
[All:] Jill, all alone.
