The Autumn leaves lay on the ground A brazen scarlet, bronze and brown There was a stranger came to town He told us stories of the sea He sold us gifts of finery He came and sat a while beside me Come all you tender maids You fine unfettered wedded ladies Beware the lure of strangers The punishments that I've paraded Loveless may our unions be These paths are not for us to lead So sisters will you not take heed And cleanse your souls and pray for me With my husband gone two years at sea He gave not a thought, I'm sure, for me And my mind inclined to wander restlessly The stranger took his leave from town Some months before and so they found me Heavy with this misbegotten child beneath my gown I bear this letter on my chest Stitched through the clothes in which I'm dressed Ripped, carved and scarred into my breast Oh my God I learned that day Oh My God the costs we pay Oh my God I learned that day Before our Lord I'll burn they say
