Debra Cowan - Cruel Brother Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Three ladies played at cup and ball

With a hey and a lady gay

Three knights there came among them all

The rose it smells so sweetly

And one of them was dressed in red

He asked me with him to wed

And one of them was dressed in yellow

He asked me to be his fellow

And one of them was dressed in green

He asked me to be his queen

O You must ask my father the king

And you must ask my mother the queen

You must ask my sister Ann

And you must ask my brother John

O I have asked your father the King

And I have asked your mother the Queen

And I have asked your sister Ann

And I have asked your her brother John

Her father the king led her down the hall

Her mother the queen led down the stair

Her sister Ann led her down the path

Her brother John set her on her horse

And as she bent to give him a kiss

He stuck his penknife into her breast

Now up and ride my foremost man

My lady fair looks pale and wan

And what will you leave to your father the king

The golden chair that I sit in

And what will you leave to your mother the queen

The golden coach that I ride in

And what will you leave to your sister Ann

My silver broach and ivory fan

And what will you leave to your brother John

A pair of gallows to hang him on
