I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Clouds are drifting across the moon Cats are prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town I heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town Dirty old town I'm gonna make me a good sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire I'll chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town Dirty old town I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal I kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town

Don't sing love songs You'll wake my mother She's sleeping here right by my side In her right hand is a silver dagger She says that I can't be your bride All men are fools So says my mother They'll tell wicked lovin' lies And then they'll go And court some other Leave you alone to pine inside My daddy is a handsome devil He's got a chain five miles long On every link, a heart does dangle Of another maid he's loved and wronged Go court another tender maiden In hopes that she might be your wife For I've been warned so I decided I'll sleep alone all of my life Beware, beware, the silver dagger

My cold, cold heart is melted now I seek for peace but don’t know how I go to bed but only weep My cold, cold heart won’t let me sleep Your lonesome voice that seems to say Your cold, cold heart will melt someday My tears pour down like fallin' rain Through restless sleep I call your name Perhaps someday beyond the blue We’ll meet sweetheart and live anew Where cold, cold hearts can’t enter in We’ll laugh and love, sweetheart, again My cold, cold heart is melted now My once proud head now I humbly bow Your lonely face in dreams I see My cold, cold heart has told on me

about

Lavendula is a femme-led folk trio from the rolling mountains of Vermont, founded in 2021. We started as a weekend busking band for a farmer’s market, but have since branched out to share our melodies and incantations beyond our Saturday ritual.

This is our first release! We hope to raise some much needed band funds to record more music, including our originals! Any and all support is very much appreciated!
