《Bitter Withy》歌词

[00:00:00] Bitter Withy - Maddy Prior

[00:00:32] As I fell out on a bright holiday

[00:00:35] Small hail from the sky did fall

[00:00:37] Our saviour asked his mother dear

[00:00:40] If he might go and play at ball

[00:00:42] At ball at ball my own dear son

[00:00:45] It's time that you were gone

[00:00:47] But don't let me hear any mischief

[00:00:50] At night when you come home

[00:00:52] So it's up the hill and it's down the hill

[00:00:55] Our sweet young saviour run

[00:00:57] Until he met three rich young lords

[00:01:00] Good morning to each one

[00:01:02] Good morn good morn good morn

[00:01:04] Said they good morning then said he

[00:01:07] And which one of you three rich young lords

[00:01:10] Will play at the ball with me

[00:01:24] Ah we're all lords and ladies sons

[00:01:27] Born in a bower and hall

[00:01:29] And you are nought but a poor maid's child

[00:01:32] Born in an ox's stall

[00:01:34] If I am nought but a poor maid's child

[00:01:37] Born in a ox's stall

[00:01:39] I'll make you believe at your latter end

[00:01:42] I'm an angel above you all

[00:01:44] So he made a bridge of beams of the sun

[00:01:47] And over the river ran he

[00:01:49] And after him ran these rich young lords

[00:01:52] And drowned they all three

[00:02:16] So it's up the hill and it's down the hill

[00:02:18] Three rich young mothers run

[00:02:21] Crying mary mild fetch home her child

[00:02:24] For ours he's drowned each one

[00:02:26] So mary mild fetched home her child

[00:02:28] And laid him across her knee

[00:02:31] And with a handful of withy twigs

[00:02:34] She gave him lashes three

[00:02:36] Ah bitter withy ah bitter withy

[00:02:38] That causes me to smart

[00:02:41] And the withy shall be the very first tree

[00:02:44] To perish at the heart
