## Lyrics
|
||
|
||
```verse
|
||
There lived a lady, lived in york
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
She fell in love with her own father's clark
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's leaned her back against a tree
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
Said "Honorable Mary, pity me"
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's leaned herself against an oak
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
She thought three times that her back would be broke
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's leaned her back against a thorn
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
And there she's had two bonnie babes born
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's taken her ribbon, long and neat
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
And tied those babes their hands and feet
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's taken up her small pen knife
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
With which to take their two wee lives
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's taken the pen knife, long and sharp
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
And pressed it into their tender hearts
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's wiped her pen knife on the grass
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
(The more)? she wiped the blood ran fast
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She's dug a grave both wide and deep
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
In which to put those babes to sleep
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
She went to walk in the woods one night
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
She saw two babes dressed all in white
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
Oh bonnie babes if you were mine
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
I'd dress you up in silk so fine
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
Oh mother mother we were thine
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
You did not dress us in silk so fine
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
Oh bonnie babes what will become of me
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
You'll be seven years a bird in a tree
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
Seven years a bird in a tree
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
Then seven years more a fish in the sea
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
|
||
Then seven years more a tongue in a bell
|
||
All alone and a-lonely, oh!
|
||
Then seven years more a-burning in hell
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey, oh!
|
||
Down by the greenwood sidey
|
||
