judy collins - the cruel mother lyrics

Loading...

there was a lady lived in the north
oh, the rose and the linsie o
she fell in love with her faither’s clerk
down by the greenwood sidie, o

he courted her a year and a day
oh, the rose and the linsie o
till her the young man did betray
down by the greenwood sidie, o

she leaned her back up against a th-rn
oh, the rose and the linsie o
there she had two pretty babes born
down by the greenwood sidie, o

she took her penknife, keen and sharp
oh, the rose and the linsie o
she has stuck it through their hearts
down by the greenwood sidie, o

as she was walking her father’s path
oh, the rose and the linsie o
she saw two babes a-playing ball
down by the greenwood sidie, o

she said “o, babes, if you can tell”
oh, the rose and the linsie o
“what kind of death i have to die.”
down by the greenwood sidie, o

“seven years a fish in the flood”
oh, the rose and the linsie o
“seven years a bird in the wood”
down by the greenwood sidie, o

“seven years a tongue in the warning bell”
oh, the rose and the linsie o
“seven years in the flames of h-ll”
down by the greenwood sidie, o

“oh, welcome, welcome, fish in the flood”
oh, the rose and the linsie o
“welcome, welcome, bird in the wood”
down by the greenwood sidie, o

“welcome, welcome tongue in the warning bell”
oh, the rose and the linsie o
“god keep me from the flames in h-ll.”
down by the greenwood sidie, o
