lyrics

There’s been a maid by a washing well
Green grows the lily-o;
There’s been a maid by a washing stone
In the well below the valley-o.

There’s been a man and he rode by,
Green grows the lily-o;
There’s been a man and he rode by
In the well below the valley-o.

He asked for a drink as he felt dry
Green grows the lily-o;
He asked for a drink as he felt dry
In the well below the valley-o.

Come in sir and drink your fill
Green grows the lily-o;
Come in sir and drink your fill
In the well below the valley-o.

What would happen if I fell in?
Green grows the lily-o;
What would happen if I fell in
The well below the valley-o?

Your body would make a floating boat
Green grows the lily-o;
Your body would make a floating boat
In the well below the valley-o.

If that should happen then God help me
Green grows the lily-o;
If that should happen then God help me
In the well below the valley-o.
