lyrics

Where have you been all the long summer’s day?
Son, come tell it unto me.
I’ve been hunting and fowling all the long whole day
And it’s mama pardon me, and it’s mama pardon me.

And what put the blood on your right shoulder?
Son, come tell it unto me.
That is the blood of the hare I caught,
That I killed most manfully.

The blood of the hare now could never be so red.
Son, come tell it unto me.
That is the blood of my youngest brother,
That I killed most brutally.

What came between you and your brother?
Son, come tell it unto me.
It was mostly about the cutting of a rod,
That will never grow into a tree.

Then what will you do when your father comes home?
Son, come tell it unto me.
I will put my foot on board of a ship,
And I’ll sail for a foreign country.

Then what will become of your own dear wife?
Son, come tell it unto me.
I will leave her there in her grief and despair,
And she’ll see no more of me.
