What's the blood that's on your sword?
O son David, my son David
What's the blood that's on your sword?
Come promise, tell me the true
O that's the blood of my brother John
Hey, lady mother, oh, my lady mother
That is the blood of my brother John
'Cause he drew his sword on me
Oh, run gone away
On a bottomless boat
Bottomless boat
Bottomless boat
Hey, lady mother
Oh, lady mother
When the sun and moon meet in yonder glen
That's how many turn again
