Listen in the reader

How should I your true love know From another one? By his cockle hat and staff And his sandal shoon.

He is dead and gone, lady, He is dead and gone; And at his head a green grass turf And at his heels a stone.

White his shroud as mountain snow, Larded with sweet showers, Which bewept to the grave did go, With true love showers.
