Anna Roberts-Gevalt - Greenwood Sidey lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a woman, lived in the dark All alone and lonely-o She fell in love with her father's clerk Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 2] She dressed herself in scarlet red All alone and lonely-o And wished to God she'd better been dead Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 3] She leaned her breast against a thorn All alone and lonely-o And there she had two pretty babes born Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 4] She buried them under a marble stone All alone and lonely-o And wished to God she'd never be known Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 5] Oh babes, oh babes if you were mine All alone and lonely-o I'd dress you up in silk so fine Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 6] Oh mother, oh mother when we were yours All alone and lonely-o You neither dressed us silk nor fine Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 7] Oh babes oh babes, pray tell to me All alone and lonely-o What I must suffer for the k**ing of thee Down by the greenwood sidey-o [Verse 8] Oh seven long years on earth to dwell All alone and lonely-o The rest of your days you'll spend in Hell Down by the greenwood sidey-o
