about

Trad. arr. Landless. Child no. 20. Learned and adapted from David Hammond.

lyrics

There were two sisters going to school,
All around the loney-o,
They spied a lady by a pool,
Down by the green woodside-o.

There was a lady sitting there,
All around the loney-o,
And at her baby she did stare,
Down by the green woodside-o.

She held the wee baby on her knee,
All around the loney-o,
A cruel penknife they did see,
Down by the green woodside-o.

For weeks and months she was pale and wan,
All around the loney-o,
But what did ail her no one could tell
Down by the green woodside-o.

She held the wee baby to her heart,
All around the loney-o,
And said dear babe we both must part,
Down by the green woodside-o.

She held the wee baby to her breast,
All around the loney-o,
And said dear babe we’ll both find rest,
Down by the green woodside-o.

There is a river wide and deep,
All around the loney-o,
And it’s there both babe and mother sleep,
Down by the green woodside-o.

She’ll be seven long years a bird in the wood,
All around the loney-o,
And seven long years a fish in the flood,
Down by the green woodside-o.
