Greenwood Lyrics by Alias Ensemble

A Splendour of Heart

2020

There was a lady from the west
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
She’s the girl that he loved best
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

On a cool and frightful day
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
Came another he’d betray
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

She arrived up on the shore
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
And she barreled down their door
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

Shе took her penknife, keen and sharp
Hеy the rose and the Lindsey O
And she stuck it through their hearts
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

As she stood above their heads
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
She said “Ne’er more thee will wed”
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

As she sailed back in the ‘morn
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
She began to fear and mourn
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

Seven years, an endless rain
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
Seven years, a bloody strain
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

Seven years, a prodding thorn
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
Seven years, a babe unborn
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

Welcome welcome, endless rain
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
Welcome welcome, bloody stain
Down by the Greenwood sidey O

There was a lady from the west
Hey the rose and the Lindsey O
She’s the girl that he loved best
Down the Greenwood sidey O
