Down by the greenwood side de Nana Mouskouri

There was a fair maiden lived in the north
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
she fell in love with her father's clerk
down by the greenwood side - oh
He courted her for a year and a day
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
till her the young man did betray
down by the greenwood side - oh
She leaned her back against the thorn
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
and there two bonny boys she's born
down by the greenwood side - oh
She's taken out her little knife
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
and she's rubbed them of their life
down by the grennwood side - oh
There she walked by her father's wall
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
she saw her two bonny boys playing ball
down by the greenwood side - oh
Oh bonny boys if you were mine
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
i'll dress you up in silk so fine
down by the greenwood side - oh
Oh mother dear when we were dying
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
you did not treat us then so fine
down by the greewood side - oh
Now bonny boys come tell to me
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
what sort of life i'll have after dying
down by the greenwood side - oh
Seven years of visions of blood
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
and seven years of hurt in the womb
down by the greenwood side - oh
Seven years down in the mourning bell
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
and seven years in the flames of hell
down by the greenwood side - oh
Welcome welcome visions of blood
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
and welcome welcome hurt in the womb
down by the greenwood side - oh
Wecome down to the mourning bell
oh the rose and the linsey - oh
but god save me from the flames of hell
down by the greenwood side - oh
Down by the greenwood side
