lyrics

A gentleman was passing by, he asked a drink as it got dry,
At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

She said ‘My cup it overflows, if I stoop down I might fall in
At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

If your true love was passing by, you’d fill him a drink if he got dry
At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

She swore by grass, she swore by corn, that her true love was never born
At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

I say, young maid, you’re swearing wrong, for five fine children you had born At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

There was two of them by your uncle Dan, another two by your brother John At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

There was two buried by the stable door, another two ‘neath the kitchen floor At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o.

If you’re a man of noble fame, you’ll tell me what did happen to them
At the well bellow the valley-o, Green grows the lily-o, right among the bushes-o
