Neutral - Sheath and Knife lyrics

And the sun goes over the woods There was a sister and her brother Who loved one another Sister, we'll gang tae the broom O sister I would lay thee doon Brother, alas, would you do so To my d**h I would sooner go And the folk they talk together That the la** is with bairn to her brother O brother you have done me ill And we will both burn on yonder hill You go to my father's stable And take twa horses stout and able She's up on the white horse, he's on the black With his yew tree bow slung fast to his back They had not rode a mile but one When her pains they did come on I would give all my father's land For a good midwife at my command You go to yon hill so high And take your bow, arrows and good eye When you hear my loud, loud cry Bend your bow and let me die When he heard her loud, loud cry He bent his bow and let her die When he came to her side The babe was born and the lady died Then he took his young, young son And borne him to a milk woman He's given himself a wound for sure He won't gang tae the broom no more 0 mother I have lost my knife I loved it better than my life But I have lost a better thing The bonnie sheath my knife was in And the sun goes over the woods
