Bitter Withy - John Tams[00:00:00]

As it fell out one high holiday[00:00:13]

Small hail from the heaven did fall[00:00:20]

Our saviour asked his mother mary mild[00:00:28]

If he might go and play at the ball[00:00:36]

At the ball at the ball my own dear son[00:00:44]

It's time that you were gone[00:00:53]

Don't let me hear of any misdoings[00:01:00]

At night when you come home[00:01:09]

Then it's up the hill and down the hill[00:01:48]

Our sweet young saviours's run[00:01:56]

There he spied three rich lords sons[00:02:04]

Playing in the sun[00:02:13]

Good morn good morn good morn said they[00:02:20]

Good morning all said he[00:02:29]

Now which of you three rich lords sons[00:02:36]

Is going to play at the ball with me[00:02:44]

But we're all lords' and ladies' sons[00:02:52]

Born in our bower and hall[00:03:01]

And you aren't nothing but a poor maid's child[00:03:08]

Born in an ox's stall[00:03:17]

But if you're all lords' and ladies' sons[00:03:24]

All born in your bower and hall[00:03:33]

I'll make you believe in your lattery end[00:03:40]

I'm an angel above you all[00:03:48]

So he built him a bridge from the beams of the sun[00:04:28]

And over the river ran he[00:04:37]

And these rich lords sons followed after him[00:04:44]

Drowned they were all three[00:04:54]

Then it's up the hill and down the hill[00:05:00]

These rich lord's mother run[00:05:08]

Crying mary mild fetch home you child[00:05:16]

For ours he has drown'd each one[00:05:25]

And so mary mild fetched home her child[00:05:32]

And she put him all across of her knee[00:05:40]

And it's with a handful of green withy twigs[00:05:48]

She's gave him lashes three[00:05:56]

Oh the bitter withy the bitter withy[00:06:04]

Thou causest me to smart[00:06:12]

And the withy shall be the very first tree[00:06:20]

To perish at the heart[00:06:28]
