The Prickilie Bush
(专辑: A Maid Of Constant Sorrow - 1961)
O, the
prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore If I
ever get out of the
prickilie bush I'll never get in it anymore Hangman, stay your rope Will you stay it for a
while I
think I
see my mother coming Riding over yonder stile Mother, did you bring me gold Or silver to pay my fee For to save my body from the
cold clay ground My neck from the
gallows tree I
didn't bring you gold Or silver to pay your fee But I
have come to see you hang On the
gallows tree O, the
prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore If I
ever get out of the
prickilie bush I'll never get in it anymore Hangman, stay your rope Will you stay it for a
while I
think I
see my father coming Over yonder stile Father, did you bring me gold Or silver to pay my fee Or have you come to see me hang On the
gallows tree I
didn't bring ya gold Or silver to pay your fee Your mother and I
have come today To see you on the
gallows tree O, the
prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore If I
ever get out of the
prickilie bush I'll never get in it anymore Hangman, stay your rope Once more for a
while I
think I
see my darling coming Over yonder stile Darling, did you bring me gold Or silver to pay my fee For to save my body from the
cold clay ground My neck from the
gallows tree I
brought ya gold And silver to pay your fee I
did not come to see you hang On the
gallows tree Oh, the
prickilie bush, It pricks my heart full sore But now that I'm out of the
prickilie bush I'll never get in it any more
