Chaos Bleak - Grey Lady Walks

GREY LADY WALKS

v1
the story told on dark nights
by one child to the next
there was a big house, not far from here
where there lived a witch!
her family married her off to a rouge
who lived with her for a year
his roving eye got the better of him
and he moved his lover in!

CHORUS:
Grey Lady walks the lane
Grey Lady walks the town
woe and misery in her heart, looks high and low
searching for a lost love, she was betrayed

v2
the lover soon fell pregnant
baring the rogue a child
they knew they up had to get rid of the lady
so they bricked her up alive!
with her last breath she shouted a curse
her tormentors end would come!
by Candlemass the fortune had gone
the child drowned in the well


v3
so, is there any truth to the story?
I wanted to know more
I read through the dusty old ledgers
and sure enough I found
there was a big house not far from here
that had fallen into despair
at the death of a child and a lady
but I could not find her name

CHORUS:
Grey Lady walks the lane
Grey Lady walks the town
woe and misery in her heart, looks high and low
searching for a lost love, she was betrayed
