Eric Fish - The Cruel Brother lyrics

Artist: Eric Fish

album: Zugabe III


There were three ladies played at ba'
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
But a knight came by, played o'er them a'
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
This knight bowed low tae a' the three
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
But tae the youngest he bent his knee
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
O lady fair, gie me your hand
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
And I'll mak ye lady o'er all my land
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
He's gained consent o'er all her kin
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
He forgot tae speak tae her brother John
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
When the wedding day was come
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
This knight would take his bonnie bride home
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
He took a knife baith long and sharp
And he stabbed the bonnie bride tae her heart
Lead me tae yon high high hill
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
And I'll lie doon and I'll mak my will
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
And what will you gie tae your brother John
The gallows tree for tae hang him on
And what will you gie to your brother John's wife
Hey wi' the rose and the linsey o
The wilderness tae end her life
Doon by the greenwood sidey o
