Lyrics:

Laying on my back in the newly-mown grass
Rain is coming down, but I know the clouds will pass
You bring me tea, say the babe's a-sleeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping


Black ash from the foundry hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed by the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting, the spring is seeping
Lay down, my darling
Love ain't for keeping

Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping

Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping

Lay down, my darling
Love ain't for keeping
