Cruel Mother
(专辑: The Judy Collins Concert - 1964)
There was a
lady lived in the
North, Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, She fell in love with her faither's clerk, Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. He courted her a
year and a
day, Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, Till her the
young man did betray. Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. She leaned her back up against a
thorn, Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, There she had two pretty babes born. Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. She took her penknife, keen and sharp. Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, She has stuck it through their hearts. Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. As she was walking her father's path, Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, She saw two babes a-playing ball. Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. She said "O, babes, if you can tell", Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, "What kind of death I
have to die." Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. "Seven years a
fish in the
flood", Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, "Seven years a
bird in the
wood". Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. "Seven years a
tongue in the
warning bell", Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, "Seven years in the
flames of hell". Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. "Oh, welcome, welcome, fish in the
flood", Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, "Welcome, welcome, bird in the
wood". Down by the
greenwood sidie, O. "Welcome, welcome tongue in the
warning bell", Oh, the
rose and the
linsie O, "God keep me from the
flames in Hell." Down by the
greenwood sidie, O.
