odetta – four marys lyrics
[verse 1]
oh, word has come from the kitchen
and word has come to me
that mary hamilton drowned her babe
and threw him into the sea
[verse 2]
down came the ol’ queen
gold all around her head
“oh, mary hamilton where is your babe
that was sleeping in your bed?”
[verse 3]
“oh, mary put on your robe of black
or your robe of brown
you might go with me this day
to view fair edinburough town”
[verse 4]
she did not put her robe of black
nor her robe of brown
but she put on her snow white robe
to view fair edinburough town
[verse 5]
as she came down the parliament
a loud, loud laugh cried she
she came down the parliamеnt steps
condemned to diе was she
[verse 6]
“oh, bring to me some red, red wine
the reddest that can be
and i might to the boldest sailors
that brought me across the sea”
[verse 7]
“oh, tie a napkin around my face
and never let me see
and ne’er let on to father and mother
i died over the sea”
[verse 8]
“last night i was the old queen’s feet
and carried her to her bed
and all the reward i receive for this
the gallows, hard to tread”
[verse 9]
last night there were four marys
tonight they’ll be but three
there was mary beaton and mary seton
and mary carmichael and me
