by Boiled In Lead

lyrics

Out in the kitchen, down in the hall
Ah, my lee and lonely
Willie’s the father of his sister’s child
Down by the greenwood side

Took her down to the merry wood
Ah, my lee and lonely
And there he shot his sister dead
Down by the greenwood side

He went back to his mother’s home
Ah, my lee and lonely
Welcome to you my son, my son.
Down by the greenwood side

Son, oh son, why are you so pale?
Ah, my lee and lonely
Been down in the greenwood hunting quail.
Down by the greenwood side

There’s no quail away down there.
Ah, my lee and lonely
Been down there shooting the white-tailed deer.
Down by the greenwood side

No pistol kills a deer,
Ah, my lee and lonely
Willie, where’s your sister, where?
Down by the greenwood side

Mother, oh mother, make my bed,
Ah, my lee and lonely
For I have shot my sister dead.
Down by the greenwood side

Son, oh son, where will you go?
Ah, my lee and lonely
For your father will kill you when he comes to know.
Down by the greenwood side

He’ll bury you under yon hill,
Ah, my lee and lonely
And if he doesn’t kill you, I surely will!
Down by the greenwood side
