1
There was a fair maiden lived in the north
2
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
3
She fell in love with her father's clerk
4
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
5
He courted her a year and a day
6
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
7
Till her the young man did betray
8
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
9
She leaned her back against the thorn
10
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
11
And there, two bonny boys, she's born
12
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
13
She's taken out her little knife
14
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
15
And she's robbed them of their life
16
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
17
There, she walked by her father's wall
18
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
19
She saw her two bonny boys playing ball
20
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
21
Oh, bonny boys, if you were mine
22
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
23
I'd dress you up in silk so fine
24
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
25
Oh, mother dear, when we were dying
26
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
27
You did not treat us then so fine
28
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
29
Now, bonny boys, come tell to me
30
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
31
What sort of life I'll have after dying?
32
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
33
Seven years of visions of blood
34
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
35
And seven years of hurt in the womb
36
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
37
Seven years down in the mourning bell
38
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
39
And seven years in the flames of hell
40
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
41
Welcome, welcome, visions of blood
42
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
43
And welcome, welcome, hurt in the womb
44
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
45
Welcome down to the mourning bell
46
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
47
But God, save me from the flames of hell
48
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
49
Down by the Greenwood side
