Letra
There was a lady in New York
All along little Oma
She fell in love with her father’s clerk
All down by the greenwood sidey
As she was going over the bridge
All along little Oma
She found herself a -growing big
All down by the greenwood sidey
She leaned her back against an oak
All along little Oma
First it bent and then it broke
All down by the greenwood sidey
She leaned herself against a thorn
All along little Oma
There she had two little babes born
All down by the greenwood sidey
She carried a pen-knife both keen and sharp
All along little Oma
She peirced those little babes to the heart
All down by the greenwood sidey
She buried them under a bunch of rue
All along little Oma
She prayed to the lord they’d never come to
All down by the greenwood sidey
As she was walking cross the porch
All along little Oma
She saw two little babes at play
All down by the greenwood sidey
Oh babes oh babes if you were mine
All along little Oma
I’d dress you up in silks so fine
All down by the greenwood sidey
Mother oh mother when we were thine
All along little Oma
You neither dressed us coarse nor fine
All down by the greenwood sidey
Mother oh mother for our sakes
All along little Oma
You’ll always carry the key to Hell’s gate
All down by the greenwood sidey
Tradução da letra
Havia uma senhora em Nova Iorque.
Sempre a pequena Oma
Ela apaixonou - se pelo empregado do Pai.
All down by the greenwood sidey
Enquanto ela estava a passar a ponte
Sempre a pequena Oma
Ela viu-se a crescer
All down by the greenwood sidey
Ela encostou - se a um carvalho
Sempre a pequena Oma
Primeiro dobrou-se e depois partiu-se.
All down by the greenwood sidey
Ela inclinou-se contra um espinho
Sempre a pequena Oma
Lá nasceu duas meninas.
All down by the greenwood sidey
Ela tinha uma faca afiada e afiada.
Sempre a pequena Oma
Ela espreitou aquelas miúdas até ao coração.
All down by the greenwood sidey
Ela enterrou-os debaixo de um monte de rue.
Sempre a pequena Oma
Ela rezou ao Senhor para que eles nunca viessem
All down by the greenwood sidey
Enquanto caminhava pelo alpendre
Sempre a pequena Oma
Ela viu duas miúdas a brincar.
All down by the greenwood sidey
Oh babes Oh babes if you were mine
Sempre a pequena Oma
Eu vestia-te de Sedas tão bem
All down by the greenwood sidey
Mãe Oh mãe quando éramos teus
Sempre a pequena Oma
Nem nos vestiste grosseiro nem fino
All down by the greenwood sidey
Mãe Oh mãe por nós
Sempre a pequena Oma
Carregarás sempre a chave do portão do inferno.
All down by the greenwood sidey
