You can not take my husband He is not fit for war He has no gift for fighting He doesn’t care what you’re fighting for He is the master of this house He plants and tills the field And if you take him off to war what will become of me? But they’ve bound him up in heavy chains And they’ve rode him through the town They put him of their wooden ships And they broke his spirit down And a fortnight later they told me how a dagger pierced his side How he fought to the death in the raging sea And slowly sang and died And oh the Ravens With souls like candle light The messengers of doom they sit And they call my name each night You can not take my Bonny boy You can to take my son He is only twenty years old and his life has just begun Oh the girls all think he’s handsome And the boys all find him grand What kind of a life can my Bonny boy lead with a dagger in his hand? But they’ve sent him off to a foreign war And they’ve taught him how to kill And though I heard from a friend his life was at end He has fallen deadly ill Oh he burned and raged with fever It drained his body dry It dried his heart, it dried his bones It left no tears to cry And oh the Ravens With souls like candle light The messengers of doom they sit And they call my name each night You can not take my life away You can not take my life My only son’s now lying cold I am a dead man’s wife And there’s no one left to keep me warm My heart is bruised and sore Why come you then, why come you then To knock upon my door? There’s a shadow of the doorstep And it’s ringing at the bell It’s knocking on the window Oh I know that sound so well Death came disguised as soldiers Death came disguised as war Death comes disguised as a scarlet knight And he calls my name once more And oh the Ravens With souls like candle light The messengers of doom they sit And they call my name each night And oh the Ravens With souls like candle light The messengers of doom they sit And they call my name each night
I guess the idea here is both that no one should take peace or prosperity for granted because death is as fickle in his timing as he is consistent with his work? Or something?
The Meg Davis song that I just can't seem to find anywhere is 'Little Black Kiss'. It's her vampire song. I have a really bad copy that was transferred from a very used cassette tape 20+ years ago......any chance of anyone on here knowing where to get a good copy of it?
Thank you❤❤❤❤ I've been looking for this song for ages!!!!
thank you for this song! I heard it when I was younger and for 30 years it's been itching the back of my brain and I couldn't find it anywhere
I know that exact feeling.
You can not take my husband
He is not fit for war
He has no gift for fighting
He doesn’t care what you’re fighting for
He is the master of this house
He plants and tills the field
And if you take him off to war
what will become of me?
But they’ve bound him up in heavy chains
And they’ve rode him through the town
They put him of their wooden ships
And they broke his spirit down
And a fortnight later they told me
how a dagger pierced his side
How he fought to the death in the raging sea
And slowly sang and died
And oh the Ravens
With souls like candle light
The messengers of doom they sit
And they call my name each night
You can not take my Bonny boy
You can to take my son
He is only twenty years old
and his life has just begun
Oh the girls all think he’s handsome
And the boys all find him grand
What kind of a life can my Bonny boy lead with a dagger in his hand?
But they’ve sent him off to a foreign war
And they’ve taught him how to kill
And though I heard from a friend
his life was at end
He has fallen deadly ill
Oh he burned and raged with fever
It drained his body dry
It dried his heart, it dried his bones
It left no tears to cry
And oh the Ravens
With souls like candle light
The messengers of doom they sit
And they call my name each night
You can not take my life away
You can not take my life
My only son’s now lying cold
I am a dead man’s wife
And there’s no one left to keep me warm
My heart is bruised and sore
Why come you then, why come you then
To knock upon my door?
There’s a shadow of the doorstep
And it’s ringing at the bell
It’s knocking on the window
Oh I know that sound so well
Death came disguised as soldiers
Death came disguised as war
Death comes disguised as a scarlet knight
And he calls my name once more
And oh the Ravens
With souls like candle light
The messengers of doom they sit
And they call my name each night
And oh the Ravens
With souls like candle light
The messengers of doom they sit
And they call my name each night
I guess the idea here is both that no one should take peace or prosperity for granted because death is as fickle in his timing as he is consistent with his work? Or something?

Looks like cdbaby.com offers it
Did the person even thank you properly, or did he never noticed?
It's no big deal. It got me to upload a video.
@@quizzlie Hehe, I guess self-accomplishment is enough then?
@@KlomvonCraft Well, I'm as productive as a snail in a salt factory so any nudge helps.
@@quizzlie Yeah, that makes sense. It happens to the best of us as well.
