Ayreheart - Lully Lulle

Ayreheart is pleased to present "Lully Lulle," the first of several upcoming videos featuring songs from our recently released album, Barley Moon. Perhaps allegorical, "Lully Lulle" tells the tale of a dying knight tended at his bedside by a maiden. The actual origins of the song are obscure, but likely reach back to at least the early 16th century. This track was recorded and mixed by Carr Designs at North Fourth Studios. Lyrics: Lully lulle, the falcon hath born my mak away He bare him off, he bare him down He bare him into an orchard brown Lully lulle, the falcon hath born my mak away In that orchard there was an hall That was hanged with purple and pall In that hall there was a bed That was hanged with gold so red Lully lulle, the falcon hath born my mak away In that bed there lyeth a knight His wound is bleeding day and night By his bedside kneeleth a maid She weepeth both night and day Lully lulle, the falcon hath born my mak away By his bedside standeth the stone Corpus Christi written thereon Lully lulle, the falcon hath born my mak away
