Lyrics
She wrote her love a letter, hid it from prying eyes
Said I do not regret Sir, this longing I must disguise
But if my husband knew the thoughts that were in my head
You'd see neither me nor the morning, for we'd both be dead
I was listless and weary before I felt your embrace
abandoned chastity gladly though I was risking disgrace
but if my husband knew the pleasure that I crave
you'd see neither me nor the morning, we'd both be in our graves
Oh my love is there no good ship that could take us far away
where we'd be shrouded from infamy, for the rest of our days
For if my husband knew the deceit that I've managed
you'd see neither me nor the morning, for we both would've vanished
He wrote his love a letter, careful to be discreet
Said he could not let her, risk eternal sleep
I can only envision one solution for us
Your husband has to be the one who bites the dust
I will gladly carry out the deed, for love, this hateful endeavour
and you'll see me in the morning and we can be together
She wrote her love a letter and pleaded frantically
Said you with the hangman, I couldn't stand to see
and though every moment without you is living hell
you'd see neither me nor the morning deep in a prison cell
That was the last love letter, do I have to tell you the rest?
Her lover on the moonlit gallows for taking her husband's breath
I heard her whisper something before she turned away
"You'll see neither me nor the morning" is what I heard her say
