IF A MAIDEN WERE HERE
Hudba: česká lidová / Text: Mark Landry

If a maiden were her
Of such a quality
Who would like to have me
Who would like to have me
But while raising my son
Would keep her purity

If I had to have a
Son from you to bring up
And keep my purity
Without cutting the wood
You'd then have to make a
Baby's cradle for me

If I had to make you
Without cutting wood a
Cradle for a baby
You would have to sew a
Dear little shirt without
Needle or thread for me

If I had to sew you
Without needle or thread
A dear little shirt then
You would have to make me
A lader which would reach
The summits of heaven

If a ladder had to
Be made by me for you
Reaching up to heaven
Together we'd ascend
We would fall downwards then
And everything would end
