The Well |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| Right among the bushes oh |
| A gentleman was passing by |
| And he stopped for a drink |
| As he was dry |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| Right among the bushes oh |
| My pack is full unto the brim |
| And if I were to stoop I might fall in |
| If your true love was passing by |
| You’d fill him a drink if he were dry |
| She swore by grass, she swore by corn |
| Her true love had never been born |
| He said: Young girl you’re swearing wrong |
| Six fine children you’ve born |
| If you be the man of noble fame |
| You’ll tell to me the father of them |
| There’s two of them by your brother John |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Another two by your uncle Dan |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Another two by your father dear |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| If you be the man of noble fame |
| You’ll tell to me what happened to them |
| There’s two buried 'neath the kitchen door |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Another two near the stable door |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Another two just beside the well |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| All of them outside the graveyard wall |
| If you be the man of noble fame |
| You’ll tell to me what’ll happen to me |
| You’ll be seven years of ringing a bell |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Seven years of burning in hell |
| At the well below the valley oh |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| Right among the bushes oh |
| I’ll be seven years of ringing a bell |
| But the Lord above might save my soul (I don’t think so) |
| From burning in hell at the well below the valley oh |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| Right among the bushes oh ! |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| Right among the bushes oh |
| Green grows the lily oh |
| Right among the bushes oh… |
