Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

There a lady lived [a] lea,
All alone, alone O
Down the greenwood went .
Down the greenwood side O

2

She her foot all a thorn,
All alone, alone O
There had two babies born.
Down the greenwood side O

3

had nothing lap them ,
All alone, alone O
But white appurn, and was thin.
Down the greenwood side O

1	There was a lady lived on [a] lea, All alone, alone O Down by the greenwood side went she. Down the greenwood side O
2	She set her foot all on a thorn, All alone, alone O There she had two babies born. Down the greenwood side O
3	O she had nothing to lap them in, All alone, alone O But a white appurn, and that was thin. Down the greenwood side O
