Eastmountainsouth - The ballad of young Alban and Amandy
The Sun had gone down
Over the hills in the west
Its last beam had faded
Over the mountain crest
Amandy was there... friendless and forlorn
With her face bathed in blood and her garments all torn
refrain:
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
refrain
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?
refrain
Oh, Amandy yeah, yeah...
Oh, Amandy...
The next morning was a vision of red, white and blue
Gliding over 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, ride on
Oh, Amandy yeah, yeah...
Oh, Amandy...
