letra de the bitty withy - goblin band
as it fell out on a bright holiday
small hail from the sky did fall
our saviour’s asked his mother dear
if he might go play at ball
“at ball? at ball? my dear own son?
it is time that you were gone
but don’t let me hear of any wrongdoings
tonight when you come home”
so it’s up the hill and down the hill
our sweet young saviour has run
and there he’s found three rich young lords
and “good morning to each one”
“good morn, good morn, good morn,” says he
“good morning,” thrice says they
“and which of you three rich young lords
will play at ball with me?”
“well we are all lords’ and ladies’ sons
born in a bower and hall
and you are nothing but a poor maid’s child
born in your oxen’s stall”
“well if you are all lords’ and ladies’ sons
born in your bower and hall
then i’ll make you believe in your latter end
i’m an angel above you all”
so he’s built him a bridge of the beams of the sun
and over the water crossed he
while these rich young lords they followed after him
and drowned they were three
so it’s up the hill and down the hill
mary mild did bear
and there she’s found our saviour bright
and she’s fetched him home by the hair
“sweet jesus, go down into yonder town
as far as the holy well
and take away those three sinful souls
and dip them deep in h-ll”
so mary mild, she’s fetched on her child
and she’s laid him across her knee
and with a handful of the green willow twigs
she gave him slashes three
“oh withy, oh bitter withy
you have caused me so to smart
and the willow it will be the very first tree
to perish at the heart.”
