Sadness, sadness Deep melancholy is mine Oh sun, oh sun. There is such despair in my mind That my mouth cannot confess it Oh sun, oh sun. About the fine youth Young rider of the steeds Oh sun, oh sun. Around this time last year You liked my banter above hundreds Oh sun, oh sun. This year you like the birds Of the air as much Oh sun, oh sun. I would never tell my sister How much I mourn you Oh sun, oh sun. Or the mother who bore me. I made her step heavy Oh sun, oh sun. There is a heavy load on my heart That no stringed fiddle will lift. Oh sun, oh sun. But wily Margaret Boldly you slandered me Oh sun, oh sun. You cast up to me in slander That I needed a snood Oh sun, oh sun. That there was a child Hidden behind my ribcage Oh sun, oh sun. Why couldn't you tell the truth As I would about you? Oh sun, oh sun. Instrumental In the presence of my Lord Where you and I would be on equal terms Oh sun, oh sun. You cast up to me, for spite That my father was poor Oh sun, oh sun. My father was different From your father Oh sun, oh sun. And their houses were different At the time of sun setting Oh sun, oh sun. In your father's house Heads and bones of fish were to be found Oh sun, oh sun. In my father's house Heads and feet of deer Oh sun, oh sun.
