A gentleman was passing by
And he stopped for a drink as he was dry
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
My pack is full unto the brim
And if I were to stoop I might fall in
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
If true love was passing by
You'd fill him a drink if he were dry
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
She swore by grass
She swore by corn
Her true love had never been born
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
He said:"Young girl
You're swearing wrong
Six fine children you've had born"
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
If you be the man of noble fame
You'll tell to me the father of them
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
There's two of them by your brother John
At the well below the valley oh
Another two by your uncle Dan
At the well below the valley oh
Another two by your father dear
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
If you be the man of noble fame
You'll tell to me what happened to them
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
There's two buried 'neath the kitchen door
At the well below the valley oh
Another two near the stable door
At the well below the valley oh
Another two just beside the well
At the well below the valley oh
All of them outside the graveyard wall
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
If you be the man of noble fame
You'll tell to me what'll happen to me
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
You'll be seven years of ringing a bell
At the well below the valley oh
You'll be seven years of burning in hell
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
I'll be seven years of ringing a bell
But the Lord above might save my soul
From burning in hell
At the well below the valley oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh
Green grows the lily oh
Right among the bushes oh.
As I was walking all alone
I heard two ravens cry and moan
The one onto the other did say oh
Where shall we go and dine today oh
Where shall we go and dine today
Out beyond that old high dike
I know there lies a murdered knight
And no-one knows that he lies there oh
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair oh
His hawk and his hound and his lady fair
His hound is to the hunting gone
His hawk to fetch the wild bird home
His lady loves another knight oh
So we may make our dinner sweet oh
So we may make our dinner sweet
So you may sit on his white thigh
And I'll peck out his bonny blue eyes
And with a lock of his golden hair oh
We'll fix our nest when it grows bare oh
We'll fix our nest when it grows bare
There's many a one for him does moan
But none will know where he is gone
And o'er his bones when they lie bare oh
The wind will blow forever more oh
The wind will blow forever more.
