Firethief

Who stole the heart of my bonnie laddie?

All alone and aloney-o

And left me another lad in his body?

Down where I cannot go

Down where I cannot follow

Who stole the light from my laddie's eyes?

All alone and aloney-o

And left me another lad in disguise?

Down where I cannot go

Down where I cannot follow

And who stole the words from my laddie's tongue?

All alone and aloney-o

And left me a rickle of skin and bone?

Down where I cannot go

Down where I cannot follow

Who stole today?

And who stole tomorrow?

And left me with nothing, with nothing

But doul and sorrow?

But doul and sorrow?

Oh, I know the name of the fire thief

All alone and aloney-o

But you can't grow a tree from a fallen leaf

Down where I cannot go

Down where I cannot go

Down where I cannot follow

Down where I cannot go
