Testo Peter Gray - Burl Ives
Testo della canzone Peter Gray (Burl Ives), tratta dall'album The Wayfaring Stranger
Once on a time there lived a man
His name was Peter Gray
He lived way down in that there town
Called Pennsylvania
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds, hi oh
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow, blow, blow
Now Peter fell in love all with a nice young girl
The first three letters of her name were Lucy Annie Pearl
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds, hi oh
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow, blow, blow
Just as they were about to wed
Her father did say no
And consequently she was sent
Beyond the Ohio
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds, hi oh
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow, blow, blow
When Peter heard of this sad news
He knew not what to say
He'd have a mind to jump into
The Susquehanna
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds, hi oh
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow, blow, blow
Now Peter went away out west
To seek his fortayan
But he was caught and scalped by it
By a bloody Indian
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds, hi oh
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow, blow, blow
When Lucy heard of this sad news
She knew not what to say
She wept and wept and wept by it
Her poor sweet life away
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds, hi oh
Blow ye winds of morning
Blow, blow, blow
