Kaleidoscope - Greenwood Sidee lyrics

There was a woman living near our town On-a-lee and a-loly In day and night walked up and down Down by the Greenwood Sidee She bent her back up against an oak On-a-lee and a-loly There stand bended in the brow Down by the Greenwood Sidee She bent her back up against a pine On-a-lee and a-loly And then two tender babes were born Down by the Greenwood Sidee She had herself two tender babes On-a-lee and a-loly Decided for to take their lives Down by the Greenwood Sidee She took her rope both long and deep On-a-lee and a-loly And tied each by his hands and feet Down by the Greenwood Sidee She took a knife both thin and sharp On-a-lee and a-loly And pierced each through his tender heart Down by the Greenwood Sidee She went walking one moonlit night On-a-lee and a-loly She spied two babes all resting wide Down by the Greenwood Sidee Said "babes, oh babes if you were mine On-a-lee and a-loly I'd dress you up in silk so fine" Down by the Greenwood Sidee "Mother, oh mother when we was yours On-a-lee and a-loly You've drowned us in our own hearts' blood Down by the Greenwood Sidee In seven years you'll hear a bell On-a-lee and a-loly in seven years you'll rost in hell" Down by the Greenwood Sidee There was a woman living near our town On-a-lee and a-loly In day and night walked up and down Down by the Greenwood Sidee
