Greenwood Sidey Lyrics by Anna & Elizabeth

Anna & Elizabeth

2015

[Verse 1]
There was a woman, lived in the dark
All alone and lonely-o
She fell in love with her father's clerk
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 2]
She dressed herself in scarlet red
All alone and lonely-o
And wished to God she'd better been dead
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 3]
She leaned her breast against a thorn
All alone and lonely-o
And there she had two pretty babes born
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 4]
She buried them under a marble stone
All alone and lonely-o
And wished to God she'd never be known
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 5]
Oh babes, oh babes if you were mine
All alone and lonely-o
I'd dress you up in silk so fine
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 6]
Oh mother, oh mother when we were yours
All alone and lonely-o
You neither dressed us silk nor fine
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 7]
Oh babes oh babes, pray tell to me
All alone and lonely-o
What I must suffer for the killing of thee
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
[Verse 8]
Oh seven long years on earth to dwell
All alone and lonely-o
The rest of your days you'll spend in Hell
Down by the greenwood sidey-o
