The Leaves Of Life Lyrics - Sandy Denny

All under the leaves and the leaves of life 

I met with virgins seven 

And one of them was mary mild, 

Our lord's best mother in heaven. 

``oh what are you seeking, my seven pretty maids, 

All under the leaves of life? '' 

``we are seeking for no leaves, thomas, 

But for a friend of thine.'' 

``go down, go down into yonder town 

And sit in the gallery 

And there you'll see sweet jesus christ, 

Nailed to a big yew tree.'' 

So down they went into yonder town 

And sat in the gallery 

And there they saw sweet jesus christ, 

Nailed to a big yew tree.
