Down By The Greenwood Side Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

There was a fair maiden lived in the north 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

She fell in love with her father's clerk 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

He courted her a year and a day 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

Till her, the young man did betray 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

She leaned her back against the thorn 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

And there, two bonny boys, she's born 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

She's taken out her little knife 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

And she's robbed them of their life 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh

As she walked by her father's wall 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

She saw her two bonny boys playing ball 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Oh, bonny boys, if you were mine, 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

I'd dress you up in silk so fine 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Oh, mother dear, when we were thine, 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

You did not treat us then so fine 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Now, bonny boys, come tell to me 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

What sort of death I'll have to die? 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Seven years a fish in the flood 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

And seven years a bird in the wood 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Seven years a tongue in the warning bell 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

And seven years in the flames of hell 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Welcome, welcome, fish in the flood 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

And welcome, welcome, bird in the wood 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Welcome tongue to the warning bell 

Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh 

But, God, save me from the flames of, hell 

Down by the Greenwood side, e-oh 

Down by the Greenwood side
