Cruel Mother 歌詞
Cruel Mother - Judy Collins
There was a lady lived in York
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
She fell in love with her father's clerk
Down by the greenwood side e o
He courted her for a year and a day
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
Till her the young man did her betray
Away by the greenwood side e o
She leaned her back up against a thorn
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
Then she had two pretty babes born
Down by the greenwood side e o
She took her penknife keen and sharp
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
She has stabbed it to their
Down by the greenwood side e o
As she was walking her father's hall
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
She saw two babes a playing ball
Down by the greenwood side e o
She said Oh babes it's you can tell
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
What kind of death I have to die
Down by the greenwood side e o
Seven years a fish in the flood
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
Seven years a bird in the wood
Down by the greenwood side e o
Seven years a tongue in the warning bell
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
Seven years in the flames of hell
Down by the greenwood side e o
Oh welcome welcome fish in the flood
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
Welcome welcome bird in the wood
Down by the greenwood side e o
Welcome welcome tongue in the warning bell
Oh the rose and the lindsay oh
God keep me from the flames in hell
Down by the greenwood side e o
