Lyrics

She was walking her fathers walk Hi-ho She was walking her fathers walk She saw two pretty babes playing the ball Lay me down me di-dilly dilly downward Down by the Greenwoodside oh She said "Pretty babes if you's was mine" Hi-ho She said, "Pretty babes if you's was mine" "I'd dress you in such silk and fine" Lay me down me di-dilly dilly downward Down by the Greenwoodside oh They said, "Dear mother when we was yours" Hi-ho You took a pen knife long and sharp And pierced those pretty babes through the heart Lay me down me di-dilly dilly downward Down by the Greenwoodside oh She washed the pen knife in the stream Hi-ho She washed the pen knife in the stream The more she washed it, the blood stained in Lay me down me di-dilly dilly downward Down by the Greenwoodside oh She leant her back up against a nook Hi-ho She leant her back up against a nook First it bent and then it broke Lay me down me di-dilly dilly downward Down by the Greenwoodside oh Lay me down me di-dilly dilly downward Down by the Greenwoodside oh
