Lyrics

What's the blood on the point of your sword?
O son David, my son David
What's the blood on the point of your sword?
Promise, tell me true
That's the blood of my grey mare
O lady mother, my lady mother
That's the blood of my grey mare
She would not rule by me
Your grey mare's blood was never so red
O son David, my son David
Your grey mare's blood was never so red
It's promise, tell me true
That's the blood of my hawking hound
O lady mother, my lady mother
That's the blood of my hawking hound
She would not rule by me
Your hawking hound's blood was never so clear
O son David, my son David
Your hawking hound's blood was never so clear
It's promise, tell me true
That's the blood of my brother John
O lady mother, my lady mother
That's the blood of my brother John
He drew his sword to me
What did you fall out about?
O son David, my son David
It's all for a little holly bush
That'll never grow to a tree
I'll set my foot on a bottomless boat
O lady mother, my lady mother
Set my foot on a bottomless boat
Sail upon the sea
When will you come back again?
O son David, my son David
When will you come back again?
It's promise, tell me true
When the sun and moon meet in yonder glen
O lady mother, my lady mother
Sun and moon meet in yonder glen
And that will never be
When the sun and moon meet in yonder glen
And that will never be
