battlefield band – the cruel brother lyrics
there were three ladies played at ba’
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
but a knight came by, played o’er them a’
doon by the greenwood sidey o
this knight bowed low tae a’ the three
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
but tae the youngest he bent his knee
doon by the greenwood sidey o
o lady fair, gie me your hand
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
and i’ll mak ye lady o’er all my land
doon by the greenwood sidey o
sir knight ere you my favour win
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
ye maun gain consent o’er all my kin
doon by the greenwood sidey o
he gained consent fae her parents dear
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
and likewise fae her sisters fair
doon by the greenwood sidey o
he’s gained consent o’er all her kin
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
he forgot tae speak tae her brother john
doon by the greenwood sidey o
when the wedding day was come
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
this knight would take his bonnie bride home
doon by the greenwood sidey o
her mother led her through the close
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
and her brother john stood her on her horse
doon by the greenwood sidey o
he took a knife baith long and sharp
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
and he stabbed the bonnie bride tae her heart
doon by the greenwood sidey o
lead me tae yon high high hill
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
and i’ll lie doon and i’ll mak my will
doon by the greenwood sidey o
and what will you gie tae your brother john
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
the gallows tree for tae hang him on
doon by the greenwood sidey o
and what will you gie to your brother john’s wife
hey wi’ the rose and the linsey o
the wilderness tae end her life
doon by the greenwood sidey o
