The Once - Marguerite lyrics

Oh the year was 1542 In the springtime love In the springtime love Marguerite her man and her servant too They roamed the hills of Newfoundland The hills of Newfoundland Oh, all around you Marguerite In the springtime love In the springtime love There are woods to hide and berries to eat On the hills of Newfoundland my love On the hills of Newfoundland Oh the serving maid on guard she stood In the springtime love In the springtime love While they made a bed in that lonely wood On the hills of Newfoundland my love On the hills of Newfoundland Oh uncle dear what have I done? In the springtime love In the springtime love I have loved a man and will bear his son On the hills of Newfoundland it was On the hills of Newfoundland Oh from my sight forever go In the springtime love In the springtime love The world a man no longer know To the île des Démons you go To the île des Démons After eight long months her young man died Marguerite grew strong Marguerite grew strong Then the serving maid and then her child On the hills of Newfoundland my love On the hills of Newfoundland Oh alone and lonely lost in prayer Oh a year went by Oh a year went by When a fishing party found her there On the hills of Newfoundland it was On the hills of Newfoundland Oh uncle dear you thought I died In the springtime love In the springtime love But with my God and love I did survive L'île des Démons mon oncle L'île des Démons Oh her love is gone and her child grows cold Oh the years go by Oh the years go by But Marguerite in France grows old And she thinks back to the days of love On the hills of Newfoundland So come now love and take my hand In the springtime love In the springtime love And like Marguerite we'll make our stand And we'll live and love as woman and man On the hills of Newfoundland
