Bonny Green Osireo or The Cruel Mother |
She's leaned her back against an oak, All alone in the lailey O', She's pushed, and she's pushed till her backs near broke. Down in the bonny green Osireo.
2. She's leaned her head against a thorn,
3. She's gone back to her fathers castle hall, | 4. She looks over her father's castle wall, All alone in the lailey O', She sees two babes a' playin' at the ball. Down in the bonny green Osireo.
5. O, bonny babes if you were mine,
6. Mother Dear Mother, when we were thine, |
7. Now we are in the heaven so High, All alone in the lailey O', And in hells fires you shall die. Down in the bonny green Osireo. |
