gretchen peters - the cruel mother lyrics

Loading...

there was a lady near the town – low so low and so lonely
she walked all night and all around – down in the greenwoods of ivy

she leaned her back against a th+rn – low so low and so lonely
two little babies she had born – down in the greenwoods of ivy

she took a rope so long and neat – low so low and so lonely
she tied them down both hands & feet – down in the greenwoods of ivy

she took a knife so keen and sharp – low so low and so lonely
she pierced it through each tender heart – down in the greenwoods of ivy

she buried them under the marble stone – low so low and so lonely
then she turned and went on home – down in the greenwoods of ivy

as she walked out one moonlit night – low so low and so lonely
she saw two babes all dressed in white – down in the greenwoods of ivy

‘oh babes oh babes if you were mine’+ low so low and so lonely
‘i’d dress you up in silk so fine’ — down in the greenwoods of ivy

‘oh mother, oh mother when we were yours’ – low so low and so lonely
‘you dressed us in our own hearts’ blood’ – down in the greenwoods of ivy

you wiped your penknife on your shoe – low so low and so lonely
the more you wiped, the bloodier it grew – down in the greenwoods of ivy
you buried us under the marble stone – low so low and so lonely
you turned and went a maiden home – down in the greenwoods of ivy

oh babes oh babes come tell me true – low so low and so lonely
what death must i die for you – down in the greenwoods of ivy

for seven years you shall ring the bell – low so low and so lonely
for seven years you’ll wait in h+ll – down in the greenwoods of ivy
