The tragic tale of Eliza Gray.
An original folk song based on the traditional English folk song structure & narrative.
Taken from my second Celtic album 'The Promise', this song tells the story of the doomed Eliza Gray, a wild & beautiful young woman of the 1800s.

The Tale of Eliza Gray
By Caitlin Grey/Neil Harvey, Copyright 2011

1. I’ll tell you the tale of Eliza Gray
She died, she died this very day
A story so sad, ‘tis a tale of dark revenge and death and sorrow
Oh, Eliza Gray, she died, she died this very day
Oh, Eliza Gray, she died, she died today

2. ‘Twas two hundred years ago this day
There lived a fair young maiden
Her eyes were as green as an emerald sea
With hair as black as raven.
Oh, Eliza Gray, she died, she died this very day
Oh, Eliza Gray, she died, she died today

3. Eliza would run like a wild young mare
In the fields beyond the town
When a squire came upon her, strong and cruel
With a mind to pin her down.
Oh, Eliza Gray, he took her soul this very day
Oh, Eliza Gray was all but dead that day

(Middle)
Oh Eliza, oh Eliza Gray
Oh Eliza, oh Eliza Gray
(He took her soul and ruined her, oh poor Eliza Gray)

4. Eliza now burned with a hatred strong
Consumed by a murderous thought
A dagger she took to the squire one night
For to plunge straight to his heart.
Oh, Eliza Gray, she killed him for his wicked ways
Oh, Eliza Gray, they hung her high
Oh, Eliza Gray, she died, she died this very day
Oh, Eliza Gray, she died, she died today
