The Broomfield Hill - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:00]
A wager a wager with you my pretty maid[00:00:04]
Here's five hundred pound to your ten[00:00:09]
That a maid you shall go to yon merry green broom[00:00:13]
But a maid you shall no more return[00:00:17]
A wager a wager with you kind sir[00:00:22]
With your five hundred pound to my ten[00:00:25]
That a maid i will go to yon merry green broom[00:00:30]
And a maid i will boldly return[00:00:34]
Now when that she came to this merry green broom[00:00:39]
Found her true love was fast in a sleep[00:00:42]
With a fine finished rose and a new suit of clothes[00:00:47]
And a bunch of green broom at his feet[00:00:51]
Then three time she went from the crown of his head[00:00:56]
And three times from the sole of his feet[00:01:00]
And three times she kissed his red rosy cheeks[00:01:04]
As he lay fast in a sleep[00:01:08]
Then she took a gold ring from off of her hand[00:01:13]
And put that on his right thumb[00:01:17]
And that was to let her true love to know[00:01:21]
That she had been there and was gone[00:01:25]
As soon as he awoke from his drowsy drowsy sleep[00:01:30]
And found his true love had been there and gone[00:01:34]
It was then he remembered upon the cost[00:01:38]
When he thought of the wager that he'd lost[00:01:42]
Three times he called for his horse and his man[00:01:47]
The horse he'd once bought so dear[00:01:51]
Saying why didn't you wake me out of my sleep[00:01:55]
When my lady my true love was here[00:01:59]
Three times did i call to you master me dear[00:02:04]
And three times did i blow with my horn[00:02:08]
But out of your sleep i couldn't you awake[00:02:13]
Till your lady your true love was gone[00:02:16]
Oh had i been awake when my true love was here[00:02:21]
Of her i would have my will[00:02:25]
If not the pretty birds in this merry green broom[00:02:30]
With her blood they should have all had their fill[00:02:34]
