Who Put The Blood |
| Where have you been all along summer’s day |
| Son tell it unto me |
| A fishing and a fowling in the fields and in the forest |
| |: I am weary mother let me be :| |
| Who put the blood on your right shoulder |
| Son tell it unto me |
| ‘Its the blood of a hare that I killed yesterday |
| |: I killed most manfully :| |
| The blood of a hare it would never be so red |
| Son tell it unto me |
| It’s the blood of a boy that I killed yesterday |
| |: I killed most manfully :| |
| What was between yourself and the boy |
| Son tell it unto me |
| It was mostly the cutting down of a rod |
| |: That never would come to a tree :| |
| What will you do when your daddy finds out |
| Son tell it unto me |
| I will put my foot on board of a ship and sail away |
| Sail to a foreign country |
| And sail to a foreign country |
| What will you do with your lovely wedded wife |
| Son tell it unto me |
| She can put her foot onboard of a ship and follow me |
| |: Follow after me :| |
| What will you do with your two fine babes |
| Son tell it unto me |
| I’ll give one to my father and the other to my mother |
| |: To keep them company :| |
| What will you do with your house and your lands |
| Son tell it unto me |
| I will lay them bare to the birds and the air |
| |: There’s no more welcome for me :| |
| What will you do in the Winter of your life |
| Son tell it unto me |
| Like a sally in the rock I will bend in the wind |
| And pray for the Gods mercy |
| Oh and pray for the Gods mercy |
