"Lord Randall" - Relaxing Classical Piano Music by Guy Faux - Free Sheet Music Download.

The melody and chord progression to this 17th century English folksong was so haunting when I first played it, I just had to record it.

Lord Randall leaves his home to meet his true love, but his mom has her suspicions. For some unknown reason, Lord Randall’s mom doesn’t trust this woman. Maybe she knows something that he doesn’t, but will she be able to warn her son in time.

——

Where did you go, Lord Randall my son?
Where did you go, my beloved one?
Down in the glen, down in the glen
Make me my bed, I've a pain in me head
And I fain would lie down, and I fain would lie down

What did you do there, Lord Randall my son?
What did you do there, my beloved one?
I dined with my true love, I dined with my true love
Make me my bed, I've a pain in me head
And I fain would lie down, and I fain would lie down

What did you eat there, Lord Randall my son?
What did you eat there, my beloved one?
Eels and eels broth, eels and eels broth
Make me my bed, I've a pain in me head
And I fain would lie down, and I fain would lie down

——

The next verse reveals the truth about Lord Randall’s true love.

——

I fear you are poisoned, Lord Randall, my son
I fear you are poisoned, my beloved one
Indeed I am poisoned, indeed I am poisoned
Make me my bed, I've a pain in me head
And I fain would lie down, and I fain would lie down

——

We never really learn the reasons why Lord Randall’s true love poisoned him.

In the last 2 verses it seems like Lord Randall is making out his will before he dies. He wants to make sure his mom gets his money and not the woman who he thought was his true love.

Of course, Lord Randall leaves a special something in his will for his true love, but we never know if she gets what’s coming to her.

——

What will you leave to your mother, my son?
What will you leave to your mother, oh ill-fated one?
My gold and my silver, my gold and my silver
Make me my bed, I've a pain in me head
And I fain would lie down, and I fain would lie down.

What will you leave to your sweetheart, my son?
What will you leave to your sweetheart, oh ill-fated one?
A rope to hang her, a rope to hang her
Make me my bed, I've a pain in me head
And I fain would lie down, and I fain would lie down
