My Ladye hath a sable coach
With horses two and four
My Ladye hath a gaunt blood-hound
That goeth on before.
My Ladye's coach hath nodding plumes
The driver hath no head.
My Ladye is an ashen white
As one that long is dead.
Songs of the West: Folk Songs of Devon & Cornwall Collected From the Myths of the People. S. Baring-Gould. 1913.
