There was a lady dressed in green
Fare a lair a lido
There was a lady dressed in green
Down by the greenwood side
She had a baby in her arms
Fare a lair a lido
She had a baby in her arms
Down by the greenwood side
She had a penknife long and sharp
Fare a lair a lido
She had a penknife long and sharp
Down by the greenwood side
She stuck it in the baby's heart
Fare a lair a lido
She stuck it in the baby's heart
Down by the greenwood side
She went to the well to wash it off
Fare a lair a lido
She went to the well to wash it off
Down by the greenwood side
The more she washed, the more it bled
Fare a lair a lido
The more she washed, the more it bled
Down by the greenwood side
There came a knocking on the door
Fare a lair a lido
There came a knocking on the door
Down by the greenwood side
There came three bobbies rushing in
Fare a lair a lido
There came three bobbies rushing in
Down by the greenwood side
They asked her what she did last night
Fare a lair a lido
They asked her what she did last night
Down by the greenwood side
She said I killed my only son
Fare a lair a lido
She said I killed my only son
Down by the greenwood side
