lyrics

As I was walking one day one day
I met an aged man all on the way
His head was bald and his beard was grey
His clothing made of the cold earth and clay
His clothing made of the cold earth and clay

I said old man what man are you
What country do you belong unto
My name is death have you not heard of me
All kings and princes bow down unto me
And you fair maid must come along with me

Oh I’ll give you gold I’ll give you pearls
I’ll give you costly rich robes to wear
If you will spare me but one little while
And give me time my life for to mend
And give me time my life to amend

Oh I want no gold I want no pearls
I want no costly rich robes to wear
I will not spare but one little while
Or give you time your life for to amend
Give you time your life to amend

In six months time this fair maid died
Let this be put on my tombstone she cried
Here lies a poor distressed maid
Who in her blooms she was led astray
Her clothing made of the cold earth and clay
Her clothing made of the cold earth and clay

Henry Parker Leeds, UK

Henry Parker's contemporary take on folk, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself - mirroring the unpredictable, yet beautifully flowing, rolling hills and valleys of his hometown, the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire.
