Bitter Withy - Maddy Prior[00:00:00]
As I fell out on a bright holiday[00:00:32]
Small hail from the sky did fall[00:00:35]
Our saviour asked his mother dear[00:00:37]
If he might go and play at ball[00:00:40]
At ball at ball my own dear son[00:00:42]
It's time that you were gone[00:00:45]
But don't let me hear any mischief[00:00:47]
At night when you come home[00:00:50]
So it's up the hill and it's down the hill[00:00:52]
Our sweet young saviour run[00:00:55]
Until he met three rich young lords[00:00:57]
Good morning to each one[00:01:00]
Good morn good morn good morn[00:01:02]
Said they good morning then said he[00:01:04]
And which one of you three rich young lords[00:01:07]
Will play at the ball with me[00:01:10]
Ah we're all lords and ladies sons[00:01:24]
Born in a bower and hall[00:01:27]
And you are nought but a poor maid's child[00:01:29]
Born in an ox's stall[00:01:32]
If I am nought but a poor maid's child[00:01:34]
Born in a ox's stall[00:01:37]
I'll make you believe at your latter end[00:01:39]
I'm an angel above you all[00:01:42]
So he made a bridge of beams of the sun[00:01:44]
And over the river ran he[00:01:47]
And after him ran these rich young lords[00:01:49]
And drowned they all three[00:01:52]
So it's up the hill and it's down the hill[00:02:16]
Three rich young mothers run[00:02:18]
Crying mary mild fetch home her child[00:02:21]
For ours he's drowned each one[00:02:24]
So mary mild fetched home her child[00:02:26]
And laid him across her knee[00:02:28]
And with a handful of withy twigs[00:02:31]
She gave him lashes three[00:02:34]
Ah bitter withy ah bitter withy[00:02:36]
That causes me to smart[00:02:38]
And the withy shall be the very first tree[00:02:41]
To perish at the heart[00:02:44]
