Greenwood Sidee

Lyrics for Greenwood Sidee

There was a woman lived near our town Oh, loo lee and a low lee Day and night walked up and down Down by the greenwood sidey She bent her back up again and oh Oh, loo lee and a low lee First it bended, then it broke Down by the greenwood sidey She bent her back up again a pine Oh, loo lee and a low lee And then two tender babes were born Down by the greenwood sidey She had herself two tender babes Oh, loo lee and a low lee Decided for to take their lives Down by the greenwood sidey She took a rope both long and neat Oh, loo lee and a low lee And tied each by his hands and feet Down by the greenwood sidey She took a knife both keen and sharp Oh, loo lee and a low lee And pierced each through his tender heart Down by the greenwood sidey She went walking one moonlit night Oh, loo lee and a low lee She spied two babes all dressed in white Down by the greenwood sidey Said, "Babes, oh babes, if ye were mine Oh, loo lee and a low lee I'd dress you up in silks so fine Down by the greenwood sidey" "Mother, oh mother, when we was yours Oh, loo lee and a low lee You drowned us in our own hearts' blood Down by the greenwood sidey" "In seven years you'll hear a bell Oh, loo lee and a low lee In seven years you'll roast in hell Down by the greenwood sidey" There was a woman lived near our town Oh, loo lee and a low lee Day and night walked up and down Down by the greenwood sidey
