Bruce Cockburn Down In Yon Forest Lyrics

Down In Yon Forest Lyrics

Down in yon forest be a hall Sing May Queen May sing Mary 'Tis is coverleted
over with purple and pall Sing all good men for the new born baby 



Oh, in that hall is a pallet-bed Sing May Queen May sing Mary 'Tis stained
with blood like cardinal-red Sing all good men for the new born baby 



And at that pallet is a stone Sing May Queen May sing Mary On which the
virgin did atone Sing all good men for the new born baby 



Under
that hall is a gushing flood Sing May Queen May sing Mary - From Christ's own
side, 'tis water and blood Sing all good men for the new born baby 



Beside that bed a shrub-tree grows Sing May Queen May sing Mary Since he was
born it blooms and blows Sing all good men for the new born baby 



Oh, on that bed a young squire sleeps Sing May Queen May sing Mary His
wounds are sick and sick, he weeps Sing all good men for the new born baby 



Oh, hail yon hall where none can sin Sing May Queen May sing Mary
'Cause it's gold outside and silver within Sing all good men for the new born
baby
