Bold Sir Rylas

Bold Sir Rylas - Spiers/Jon Boden

Now bold sir rylas a hunting went

All along and down a lea

And bold sir rylas a hunting went

Down by the riverside

Bold sir rylas a hunting went

To catch some game was his intent

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around

Well he spied a wild woman sitting in a tree

All along and down a lea

Good lord what brings you here said she

Down by the riverside

Oh there's a wild boar in the wood

He'll eat your flesh and he'll drink your blood

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around

Well he put his horn unto his mouth

All along and down a lea

And he blew it east north west and south

Down by the riverside

And the wild boar came out of his den

Bringing his children nine or ten of them

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around

Then bold sir rylas the wild boar fell on

All along and down a lea

And bold sir rylas the wild boar fell on

Down by the riverside

And he fought him three hours all the day

Until the boar would have run away

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around

Oh now you have killed my spotted pig

All along and down a lea

Oh now you have killed my spotted pig

Down by the riverside

Oh there are three things I would have of thee

Your horse and your hound and your fair lady

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around

Oh now I have killed your spotted pig

All along and down a lea

Oh now I have killed your spotted pig

Down by the riverside

Oh there's not one thing you'll have of me

My horse nor my hound nor my fair lady

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around

Then bold sir rylas the wild woman fell on

All along and down a lea

And bold sir rylas the wild woman fell on

Down by the riverside

And he split her head down to her chin

You should have seen her kick and grin

Down in the grove where the wildflowers grow

And the green leaves fall all around
