1
Two pretty boys were goin' tae the school
2
And one evening coming home
3
Says William to John, Can you throw a stone
4
Or can you play at a ball, a ball,
5
or can you play at a ball
6
Says John to William, I canna' throw a stone
7
Little can I play at a ball
8
But if you'll go down to a merry green woods
9
I'll try you a wrestlin' fall, a fall,
10
I'll try you a wrestlin' fall
11
So they went down tae a merry green woods
12
Beneath the spreadin' bough
13
The little penknife fell out of William's coat
14
And gave John his deadly wound, wound,
15
and gave John his deadly wound
16
Ah, now you'll take off your white Holland shirt
17
And teer it frae gore tae gore
18
And you will bind my deadly wounds
19
That they might bleed no more, no more,
20
that they might bleed no more
21
So he's ta'en off his white Holland shirt
22
And he's torn it frae gore tae gore
23
And though he's bound his deadly wounds
24
Ah, they bled ten times more, more,
25
they bled ten times more
26
Ah but what shall I tell to your father dear
27
This night when I go home
28
Tell him I'm away to a London school
29
And a good scholar I'll come home, home,
30
a good scholar I'll come home
31
Ah but what shall I tell to your sister dear
32
This night when I go home
33
Tell her I'm away to a London school
34
And the good books I'll bring home, home,
35
the good books I'll bring home
36
Ah but what shall I tell to your sweetheart dear
37
This night when I go home
38
Tell her I'm dead and in the grave laid
39
And the grass is growin' green, green,
40
the grass is growin' green
41
Ah but what shall I tell to your stepmother dear
42
This night when I go home
43
Tell her I'm dead and in the grave laid
44
For she prayed I might never come home, home,
45
she prayed I might never come home
