The Leaves of Life

It's all under the leaves, under leaves of life
 There I saw maidens seven
 And it's one of them was Mary mild
 She was Our King's mother from Heaven
 And she asked me what was I looking for
 All under the leaves of life
 I am looking for sweet Jesus Christ
 With His body nailed to a tree
 Go you down, go you down, to yonder little town
 As far as you can see
 And it's there you'll find sweet Jesus Christ
 With His body nailed to a tree
 Dear Mother, dear Mother, don't you weep for me
 For weeping does me some harm
 And it's I may suffer for you dear Mother
 When you are dead and gone
 There's a rose and a rose and a gentle rose
 The fern that grows so green
 God will give us grace in every mortal place
 For to pray our heavenly guide
 God will give us grace in every mortal place
 For to pray to our heavenly guide
