The Ballad of Lizzie Siddal

Oh Lizzie, she was a milliner girl,
making hats in the alley,
When along came a swain a whispering,
‘I can make you happy.
Oh Lizzie Lizzie come with me,
And make your face your fortune.’
So off went Lizzie,
stream of red tresses a flowing…

Oh Lizzie she was Rossetti’s girl,
making art after her fashion,
When along came a swain a whispering ,
‘I can make you happy.
Oh Lizzie Lizzie come with me,
And take your fix don’t dally.’
So off went Lizzie
stream of red tresses a flowing…

Oh Lizzie she was a  laudanum girl,
making the best of her sadness,
When along came a swain a whispering,
‘I can make you happy.
Oh Lizzie Lizzie come with me,
And make your fate a tragedy.’
So off went Lizzie,
stream of red tresses a flowing…
