The Rose And The Lindsey O' |
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 thorn |
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' hell" |
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' hell |
Doon by the Greenwood sidey O |
