Down By The Greenwood Side lyrics
Song information
Artist: Nana Mouskouri Album: Roses & Sunshine
Lyrics
There was a fair maiden lived in the north Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh She fell in love with her father's clerk Down by the greenwood side, oh
He courted her a year and a day Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh Till her, the young man did betray Down by the greenwood side, oh
She leaned her back against the thorn Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh And there, two bonny boys, she's born Down by the greenwood side, oh
She's taken out her little knife Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh And she's robbed them of their life Down by the greenwood side, oh
There, she walked by her father's wall Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh She saw her two bonny boys playing ball Down by the greenwood side, oh
Oh, bonny boys, if you were mine Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh I'd dress you up in silk so fine Down by the greenwood side, oh
Oh, mother dear, when we were dying Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh You did not treat us then so fine Down by the greenwood side, oh
Now, bonny boys, come tell to me Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh What sort of life I'll have after dying? Down by the greenwood side, oh
Seven years of visions of blood Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh And seven years of hurt in the womb Down by the greenwood side, oh
Seven years down in the mourning bell Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh And seven years in the flames of hell Down by the greenwood side, oh
Welcome, welcome, visions of blood Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh And welcome, welcome, hurt in the womb Down by the greenwood side, oh
Welcome down to the mourning bell Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh But, god, save me from the flames of hell Down by the greenwood side, oh Down by the greenwood side
