Prickle-eye Bush

Oh the prickle-eye bush It pricks my heart full sore And if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more Oh hangman stay your hand Oh stay it for a while For I think I see my mother coming over yonder stile Oh mother have you brought me gold Or silver to set me free For to save my body from the cold, cold ground And my neck from the gallows tree Oh no I haven't brought you gold Or silver to set you free For to save your body from the cold, cold ground And your neck from the gallows tree Oh the prickle-eye bush It pricks my heart full sore Oh and if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more And if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more Oh hangman stay your hand Oh stay it for a while For I think I see my sister coming over yonder stile Oh sister have you brought me gold Or silver to set me free For to save my body from the cold, cold ground And my neck from the gallows tree Oh no I haven't brought you gold Or silver to set you free For to save your body from the cold, cold ground And your neck from the gallows tree Oh the prickle-eye bush It pricks my heart full sore Oh and if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more And if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more Oh hangman stay your hand Oh stay it for a while For I think I see my own true love Coming over yonder stile Oh true love Have you brought me gold Or silver to set me free For to save my body from the cold, cold ground And my neck from the gallows tree Oh yes I have brought you gold And silver to set you free Oh to save your body from the cold, cold ground And your neck from the gallows tree Oh the prickle-eye bush It pricks my heart full sore Oh and now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more And now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get it in any more Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush I never will get in it any more
