SAD-EYED LADY KATHERINE (of the Woodbine Grove)
Requested by Paul Duller

Down the dark stairway where shadows are moving, across the dim hallway - as oftimes before...
Down to the grove where the woodbine will whisper - 'Go home sweet Katherine - come wanderin' no more!'

CHORUS:
What does she find there? Why does she go?
Sad-eyed Lady Katherine of the Woodbine Grove....

In her gown of gold velvet, her necklace of amber, her topaz rings and her corn-yellow hair -
she moves like a flame through the pale light of dawn, paying no mind to the cold morning air...

CHORUS:
What does she find there? Why does she go?
Sad-eyed Lady Katherine of the Woodbine Grove....

With her white feet unsandalled she moves through the forest...over brambles and branches with never a moan
Nor moves she less steadily over the rocky stream - but crosses, without looking for the stepping stone...

CHORUS:
What does she find there? Why does she go?
Sad-eyed Lady Katherine of the Woodbine Grove....

Out beyond the forest the world is still sleeping - dreaming of courtiers and castles and kings...
Down in the grove Lady Katherine lies weeping.... silently watching the white dove take wing....

CHORUS:
What does she find there? Why does she go?
Sad-eyed Lady Katherine of the Woodbine Grove....
And what is the secret calling her so?
Sad-Eyed Lady Katherine of the Woodbine Grove....
