old blind dogs - the rose and the lindsey o' lyrics
there was a woman lived in the north
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
she has coorted her faither’s clerk
doon by the greenwood sidey o
she’s coorted him for a year and a day
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
’til her great belly did her betray
doon by the greenwood sidey o
she’s leaned her back against a tree
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
thinkin’ that she micht lichter be
doon by the greenwood sidey o
she’s leaned her back against a th-rn
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
bonnie’s the boys that she has borne
doon by the greenwood sidey o
but she’s taen oot her wee penknife
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
and she has taen the bairnies’ lives
doon by the greenwood sidey o
she’s buried them ‘neath a marble stane
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
thinkin’ tae gang a maiden hame
doon by the greenwood sidey o
she was lookin’ ower her faither’s castle wa’
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
she’s spied her bonnie boys playin’ at the ba’
doon by the greenwood sidey o
“oh bonnie bairns, gin ye were mine
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
i’d dress ye up in silk sae fine”
doon by the greenwood sidey o
“oh mither dear, fan we were thine
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
we nivver saw ocht o’ the silk sae fine”
doon by the greenwood sidey o
“bonnie bairns, come tell tae me
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
fit kind o’ death i’ll hae tae dee”
doon by the greenwood sidey o
“seven years a bird in the wood
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
seven years a fish in flood
doon by the greenwood sidey o
and seven years at the warnin’ bell
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
seven years in the depths o’ h-ll”
doon by the greenwood sidey o
oh welcome, welcome bird in the wood
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
welcome, welcome fish in the flood
doon by the greenwood sidey o
and welcome, welcome tae the warnin’ bell
hey wi’ the rose and the lindsey o
god keep me oot o’ the depths o’ h-ll
doon by the greenwood sidey o
