Hear me when I cry,
Listen to my song
Jay, my lovely lady,
To the earth she did belong.

I, a country serf
Loved her all my life,
But the manor lady´s bright young son
Can take her for his wife.

Under forest branches
She came to me,
Until the day she cried aloud
A father I should be.

That was the last time that we met,
I never saw her again,
For she took her life on Princetown Moor
To save my worthy name.

She found Death´s open arms
And lay in their embrace
I watched as icy fingers

Clawed her lovely face.

Now I stumble through the mist
To where they laid her in her grave,
And daily I´ll remember
Flowers for my Jay.

Far beyond this land
I will take your hand,
The spirit of our love will live forever.
Far beyond the clouds
We will laugh aloud,
The spirit of our love will live again.
