The Lady in the Tower.
There was a lady who lived in a tower,
All-alone-and-a-lonely
She got married to a fisherman’s son,
All down by the green wood siding.
She had two girls ,both tender and fair,
All-alone-and-a-lonely.
She got it in her heart to kill,
All down by the green wood siding.
She took a rope both strong and stout,
All-a-lone-and-a-lonely.
She took a knife both keen and sharp,
All down by the green wood siding.
She bound them down both hands and feet,
All-alone-and-a-lonely.
She pierced that knife to their tender hearts,
All down by the green wood siding.
She buried them under a marble stone,
All-alone-and-a-lonely.
She prayed to God it would never be known,
All down by the green wood siding.
In seven days she took a walk,
All-alone-and-a-lonely.
She spied those two little girls at play,
All down by the green wood siding.
Oh, girls, oh girls, if you were mine,
All-alone-and-a-lonely,
I’d dress you in the silk so fine,
All down by the green wood siding.
Oh, Mother, oh, Mother, if we were thine,
All-alone-and-a-lonely,
We would need not your silk that you dress in so fine,
All down by the green wood siding.
In seven days you will hear a bell,
All-alone-and-a-lonely,
In seven more you will scream in hell,
All down by the green wood siding.
In seven days she heard that bell,
All-alone-and-a-lonely.
In seven more she screamed in hell,
All down by the green wood siding.
