green grows the lily - sophie crawford lyrics
there were three ladies played at ball
green grow the lily o
they were virgins maidens all
and the rose is sweet and merry
there came a young red knight
green grow the lily o
to take another as his bride
and the rose is sweet and merry
“you must ask of my father dear
green grow the lily o
and the mother that did me bear
and the rose is sweet and merry
“you must ask of my brother john
green grow the lily o
and you must ask my sisters everyone.”
and the rosе is sweet and merry
“i have asked of your fathеr dear
green grow the lily o
and the mother that did you bear
and the rose is sweet and merry
“i have asked of your lover john
green grow the lily o
i have asked your sisters everyone.”
and the rose is sweet and merry
her father led her to the door
green grow the lily o
and her brother gave her a death wound
and the rose is sweet and merry
oh the horse she rode it was pitch black
green grow the lily o
and her brother rode at the back
and the rose is sweet and merry
“ride on, you false young man
green grow the lily o
for i fear your bride looks awf’lly wan
and the rose is sweet and merry
“ride on and never fail
green grow the lily o
for i fear your bride looks awf’lly pale.”
and the rose is sweet and merry
they rode to the riverside
green grow the lily o
and there she laid down and died
and the rose is sweet and merry
“what’ll you leave your mother dear?”
green grow the lily o
“oh the bridal dress that i do wear.”
and the rose is sweet and merry
“take it down to yonder stream
green grow the lily o
my heart’s blood runs in every seam”
and the rose is sweet and merry
“what’ll you leave your brother’s wife?”
green grow the lily o
“oh to mourn and grieve in all her life.”
and the rose is sweet and merry
“what’ll you leave your brother john?”
green grow the lily o
“oh a hangman’s noose to hang him on.”
and the rose is sweet and merry
