Buried In Kilkenny Lyrics by Branwen (IE)

Hunted and Haunted

2019

What have you for dinner now
My  young darling boy?
What  have you for dinner
My comfort and my joy?
I had bread, beef and cold poison
Mother,  will you dress my bed soon?
For  I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down
What will you leave your father
My  young darling boy?
What will you leave your father
My comfort and my joy?
I’ll leave him the coach and four horses
Mother,  will you dress my bed soon?
For I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down
What will you leave your brother
My young darling boy?
What will you leave your brother
My comfort and my joy?
My bow and my fiddle
Mother, will you dress my bed soon?
For I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down
What will you leave your mother
My young darling boy?
What will you leave your mother
My comfort and my joy?
I’ll leave her the keys to my treasure
Mother, will you dress my bed soon?
For I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down
What will you leave your sweetheart
My young darling boy?
What will you leave your sweetheart
My comfort and my joy?
The gallows for to hang her
Mother, will you dress my bed soon?
For I have a pain in my heart and I long to lie down
Where will you be buried now
My own young darling boy?
Where will you be buried
My comfort and my joy?
I’ll be buried in Kilkenny, where I’ll take a long sleep
With a stone to my head and a scraith to my feet
