Traditional | |
There was a lady lived in York | |
She stabbed her baby to the heart | |
She drew a scarf from off her head | |
She bound the baby's hands and legs. | |
She drew a knife long and sharp | |
She stabbed the baby to the heart | |
She wiped the knife upon the grass | |
The more she wiped, the blood ran fast. | |
As she was going to her father's hall | |
She saw three children playing at ball | |
One in silk, the other in satin | |
The other was naked as ever was born. | |
‘Oh, dear child, if you were mine’ | |
’I'd dress you in silk and satins so fine’ | |
‘Mother dear, I once was thine’ | |
’You never would dress me, coarse or fine’. | |
‘Mother, mother, for your sins’ | |
’Heaven you shall not enter’ | |
’There is fire beyond Hell's gate’ | |
’And there you'll burn forever’. |
