Down By The Greenwood Side - Nana Mouskouri

Down By The Greenwood Side - Nana Mouskouri (娜娜·穆斯库莉)
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 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 robbed them of their life
Down by the Greenwood 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'd 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 Greenwood 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
Welcome 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
