The Ballad Of Young Alban And Amandy Lyrics

the sun had gone down

o’er the hills in the west

its last beam had faded 

o’er the mountain crest

amandy was there.. friendless and forlorn

with her face bathed in blood and her garments all torn



oh, amandy

oh, amandy



the campfires were kindled

each warrior was there and amandy was bound

her white bosom bare

it was vengeance that she counted in the eyes of her foe 

and sighed for the time

when her suffering might close



oh, amandy... oh, amandy

oh, amandy yeah… yeah...

oh, amandy...



young alban their leader

suddenly appeared

with an eye like an eagle

and a step like a deer

he said, "brothers, if your victim be burned by a tree 

young alban the leader

your victim shall be�



oh, amandy

oh, amandy



the next morning was a vision of red, white and blue

gliding o’er the waters

in a light, bark canoe

like a wild dove sails over the tide

young alban and amandy together did ride

young alban and amandy together did ride



oh, ride on

oh, amandy

oh, amandy

yeah... 

oh, amandy
