ed mccurdy – lamkins lyrics

Loading...

said the lord to his lady, as he went away
“beware of proud lamkins if he comes this way.”

he was scarce gone one hour when lamkins come in
he knocked on the door, and the nurse let him in

“oh where is the lady? is she within?”
“she’s upstairs, sleeping.”, said the nurse+maid to him

“how will i get at her?” to the nurse said lamkins
we’ll stick her little babies full of needles and pins

proud lamkins, he rocked
and the nurse+maid she sung
while blood and tears from thе cradle did run

down came the lady, all full of alarm
and, lamkins, hе took her, right in his arms

oh lamkins, oh lamkins
oh spare me one hour
i’ll give you daughter, betsy, my own blooming flower

oh send for your daughter, and bring her to me
and she’ll hold the basin while your heart’s blood runs free
there was blood in the nursery
blood in the hall
blood on the staircase
and blood overall

proud lamkins was taken to the gallows to die
and the nurse+maid was burned in a fire nearby
