Letra
There was a fair maiden lived in the north
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
She fell in love with her father’s clerk
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
He courted her a year and a day
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Till her, the young man did betray
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
She leaned her back against the thorn
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And there, two bonny boys, she’s born
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
She’s taken out her little knife
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And she’s robbed them of their life
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
There, she walked by her father’s wall
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
She saw her two bonny boys playing ball
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Oh, bonny boys, if you were mine
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
I’d dress you up in silk so fine
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Oh, mother dear, when we were dying
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
You did not treat us then so fine
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Now, bonny boys, come tell to me
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
What sort of life I’ll have after dying?
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Seven years of visions of blood
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And seven years of hurt in the womb
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Seven years down in the mourning bell
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And seven years in the flames of hell
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Welcome, welcome, visions of blood
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
And welcome, welcome, hurt in the womb
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Welcome down to the mourning bell
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
But, God, save me from the flames of hell
Down by the Greenwood side, oh
Down by the Greenwood side
Tradução da letra
Havia uma bela donzela que vivia no norte.
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Ela apaixonou - se pelo empregado do Pai.
Ao lado de Greenwood
Ele cortejou-a um ano e um dia.
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Até que ela, o jovem traiu
Ao lado de Greenwood
Ela encostou-se ao Espinho
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
E lá, dois rapazes bonny, ela nasceu
Ao lado de Greenwood
Ela tirou a sua pequena faca.
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
E ela roubou-lhes a vida.
Ao lado de Greenwood
Ali, ela passou pela parede do Pai.
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Ela viu os seus dois rapazes bonitos a jogar à bola.
Ao lado de Greenwood
Oh, bonny boys, if you were mine
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Vestia-te de seda tão bem
Ao lado de Greenwood
Oh, mãe querida, quando estávamos a morrer
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Não nos trataste tão bem.
Ao lado de Greenwood
Agora, bonny boys, venham dizer-me
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Que tipo de vida terei depois de morrer?
Ao lado de Greenwood
Sete anos de visões de sangue
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
E sete anos de dor no ventre
Ao lado de Greenwood
Sete anos de luto
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
E sete anos nas chamas do inferno
Ao lado de Greenwood
Bem-vindos, bem-vindos, visões de sangue
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
E bem-vindos, bem-vindos, feridos no ventre
Ao lado de Greenwood
Bem-vindos ao sino do luto
Oh, the rose and the linsey, oh
Mas, Deus, salva-me das chamas do inferno.
Ao lado de Greenwood
Ao lado de Greenwood
