Washer at the Ford


Ríoghnach Locha Eachach            


There's a lady whom I know
Hair as dark as the cawing crow
Skin as pale as whitest snow
Oh, my washer at the ford

She is old but beautiful
Tells me tales of knights and woe
Washes armor, dented, cold
Oh, my washer at the ford

Plate mail wrought in white and gold
Blazoned with a cross of old
Similar to mine, I'm told
Oh, my washer at the ford

Battle comes on the morrow
Scared, but I'll be fine, I know
"I will see you soon," she swore
Oh, my washer at the ford

Something tugs at my mind's home
Something I heard long ago
Surely nonsense, for I know
Oh, my washer at the ford
