rosie hood - the cruel mother lyrics

Loading...

there was a lady in our town
jenny poor gentle rosemary
she courted a man til her apr+n grew round
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

she leaned her back against a th+rn
jenny poor gentle rosemary
and there two little babies were born
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

she laid these babies across her lap
jenny poor gentle rosemary
she swore they should never suck milk nor pap
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

she tore their little dresses apart
jenny poor gentle rosemary
she stabbed the babies to the heart
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

she bore her babies to the brook
jenny poor gentle rosemary
she vowed she would bury them down in the deep
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

she let her penknife into the brook
jenny poor gentle rosemary
she thought that the blood had never forsook
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree
she went to the brook to wash her hands
jenny poor gentle rosemary
the more that the washed the more it came on
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

“oh babes, oh babes, when you were mine
jenny poor gentle rosemary
your were dressed in silks and satins so fine.”
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

“oh mother, oh mother, when we were thine
jenny poor gentle rosemary
we never were dressed in silks to fine
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

“oh heaven it is a sweet pretty place
jenny poor gentle rosemary
it’s where thy body shall never take ease
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree

“oh h+ll it is a fiery place
jenny poor gentle rosemary
it’s where thy body shall burn in a blaze.”
when the dew lies under the mulberry tree
