mary hamilton - peggy seeger lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
news has come to the kitchen
news came to the hall
that mary hamilton’s borne a babe
to the highest one of all

[verse 2]
news has come to the kitchen
news has came to me
that mary hamilton’s k!lled her baby
and thrown him in the sea

[verse 3]
“mary, put on your robe of black
or yet your robe of brown
mary come along with me
and to go to edenborough town?

[verse 4]
she put not on your robe of black
nor yet her robe of brown
she put on her brightest white
to go to edenborough town

[verse 5]
last night i washed the old queen’s feet
and carried hеr to her bed
this night she gavе me my reward
the gallows hard to tread
[verse 6]
little did my mother think
when first she cradle me
that i should die so far from home
on the gallows tree

[verse 7]
happy, happy is the girl
who’s born of beauty free
it is my rosy, dimpled cheek
has been the ruin of me

[verse 8]
last night there were four marys
this night there’ll be but three
there’s mary beaton, there’s mary seton
there’s mary carmichael and me
