Broomfield Hill - Martin Carthy[00:00:00]
Oh it's of a lord in the north country [00:00:05]
He courted a lady gay [00:00:08]
As they were riding side by side [00:00:11]
A wager she did lay [00:00:13]
Oh I'll wager you five hundred pound [00:00:16]
Five hundred pound to one [00:00:18]
That a maid[00:00:21]
I will go to the merry greenwood [00:00:22]
And a maid I will return [00:00:24]
So there she sat[00:00:26]
In her mother's bower garden [00:00:28]
There she made her moan [00:00:29]
Saying Should I go to the Broomfield Hill [00:00:31]
Or should I stay at home [00:00:34]
Then up and spake this witch woman [00:00:42]
As she sat on a log [00:00:44]
Saying You shall go to the Broomfield Hill [00:00:46]
And a maid you shall come home [00:00:49]
Oh when you get to the Broomfield Hill [00:00:52]
You'll find your love asleep [00:00:54]
With his hawk his hound [00:00:57]
And his silk and satin gown [00:00:58]
And his ribbons hanging down to his feet [00:00:59]
And pick the blossom from off the broom [00:01:02]
The blossom that smells so sweet [00:01:04]
And lay some down[00:01:07]
At the crown of his head [00:01:08]
And more at the sole of his feet [00:01:10]
So she's away to the Broomfield Hill[00:01:12]
And she's found her love asleep [00:01:15]
With his hawk his hound [00:01:17]
And his silk and satin gown [00:01:19]
And his ribbons hanging down to his feet [00:01:20]
And she's picked a blossom[00:01:22]
From off the broom [00:01:24]
The blossom that smells so sweet [00:01:25]
And she's laid some down[00:01:27]
At the crown of his head[00:01:29]
And more at the sole of his feet [00:01:30]
And she's pulled off her diamond ring[00:01:32]
And she's pressed it in his right hand [00:01:35]
For to let him know when[00:01:38]
He'd wakened from his sleep[00:01:39]
That his love[00:01:40]
Had been there at his command [00:01:41]
And when he woke out of his sleep [00:01:44]
And the birds began to sing [00:01:46]
Saying Awake awake awake master [00:01:49]
Your true love's been and gone [00:01:51]
Oh where were you [00:01:54]
Me gay goshawk [00:01:55]
And where were you [00:01:57]
Me steed [00:01:58]
And where were you [00:01:59]
Me good greyhound [00:02:00]
Why did you not waken me [00:02:02]
Oh I clapped with my wings master [00:02:05]
And bold your bells I rang [00:02:08]
Crying waken waken [00:02:10]
Waken master [00:02:12]
Before this lady ran [00:02:13]
And I stamped with my foot master [00:02:15]
And shook me bridle till it rang [00:02:18]
But nothing at all would waken you[00:02:21]
Till she had been and gone [00:02:23]
So haste ye haste ye [00:02:26]
Me good white steed [00:02:27]
To come where she may be [00:02:28]
Or all the birds of the Broomfield Hill[00:02:31]
Shall eat their fill of thee [00:02:33]
Oh you need not waste your[00:02:36]
Good white steed[00:02:37]
By racing to her home [00:02:38]
For no bird flies faster through the wood[00:02:41]
Than she fled through the broom [00:02:43]
