作词 : Traditional | |
There lived a wife in Usher's Well | |
And a wealthy wife was she | |
She'd three fine and stalwart sons | |
And sent them o'er the sea | |
They'd not been gone a week | |
And a week but barely one | |
When death sweeping over the land | |
Took 'em one by one | |
And they'd not been gone a week | |
A week but barely three | |
When word come to that young girl | |
Her babes she'd never see | |
I wish the wind would never blow | |
No fish swim in the flood | |
Till my darling babes are home | |
They're home in flesh and blood | |
And there about the Martinmas | |
Nights are long and dark | |
Her three kids come to her door | |
Their hats were made of bark | |
And the tree never grew in any ditch | |
Nor down by any wall | |
But at the gates of Paradise | |
Grew strong grew tall | |
Blow up the fire my maidens all | |
Bring water from the well | |
Since my darling babes are home | |
They've come home safe and well | |
So she has laid the table | |
With bread and with wine | |
Come eat and drink my darling babes | |
Eat and drink of mine | |
We may not eat your bread mother | |
Nor may we drink your wine | |
For cold death is lord of all | |
To him we must resign | |
The green grass is at our head | |
And the clay is at our feet | |
And your tears come tumbling down | |
And wet our winding sheet | |
So she has made the bed for them | |
Spread the milk-white sheet | |
She's laid it all with cloth of gold | |
To see if they could sleep | |
And up and crew the red cock | |
Up and crew the grey | |
And the youngest to the eldest says | |
Brother we must away | |
And the cock had not crowed once | |
And clapped his wings for day | |
When the eldest to the youngest says | |
Brother we must away | |
For the cock crow the day dawn | |
The chunnering worm chide | |
And if we're missed out of our place | |
Then pain we must bide | |
Farewell farewell my mother dear | |
Farewell to barn and byre | |
And farewell the sweet young girl | |
Kindling my mother's fire |
