top floor taivers – johnnie o’ braidieslee lyrics

Loading...

johnnie arose on a may mornin’, gone for water to wash his hands
says “gi’e loose to me my two gray dogs
“that lie bound in iron bands, bands
“that lie bound in iron bands”

when johnny’s mother, she heard o’ this
her hands for dule she wrang
crying “johnnie, for your venison
“to the king’s woods dinnae gang, gang
“to the king’s woods dinnae gang”

but he has ta’en his good benbow
his arrows one by one
and he’s awa’ to the greenwood gane
to ding the dun deer doon, doon
to ding the dun deer doon

johnnie shot, and the dun deer leapt
her wounded her in the side
aye and ‘tween the water and the woods
the gray dogs laid their pride, pride
the gray dogs laid their pride

it’s by there come a silly old man, an ill death that he may dee
and he’s awa’ to esselmont
seven foresters for to see, to see
seven foresters for to see
up then spoke the first forester, he was captain among them all
“could this be jack o’ braidieslee?
“unto him we will draw, draw
“unto him we will draw”

the first shot that the foresters fired
they wounded him on the knee
and the next shot that the foresters fired
his hairt’s blood blint his e’e, his e’e
his hairt’s blood blint his e’e

he’s leaned his back against an oak, his foot against a stane
and he has fired at the foresters
and he’s k!lled them all but ane, but ane
he’s k!lled them all but ane

he’s broken four o’ this man’s ribs, his arm and his collar bane
and he’s put him up onto his horse
to carry the tidin’s hame, hame
to carry the tidin’s hame

johnnie’s good benbow is broke
and his two gray dogs are slain
and his body lies in bonny parts
and his huntin’ days are deen, deen
his huntin’ days are deen
