about
Traditional Ballad (Child 20, Roud 9) arranged by Mandy Connell for Sally Taylor's Voice
lyrics
I went walkin in the woods one night
All alone and aloney O
I saw two babies playing at the ball
Down by the Greenwood Sidey O
Oh Babes Oh Babes If you were mine
I’d dress you up in Scarlet Fine
I wouldn’t go walking by the river side
Down by the Greenwood Sidey O
Oh Mother Mother we were thine
You didn’t dress us coarse or fine
You went walking by the riverside
Pushed your back against a thorn
Pushed and you pushed ‘til we were born
Put the rope around our neck and you
Pulled on the rope ‘til we were dead
Oh Babes Oh Babes what am I to do
For the cruel thing that I did you you
Bonnie Boys come tell to me
What kind of death I’ll have to die
Seven years as a fish in the flood
Seven years as a bird in the wood
Seven years a tongue in the warning bell
Seven years in the flames of hell
Alysia Manceau elegantly weaves her psychedelic balladry into a timeless landscape. Haunting vocals soar across layers of instrumentation in nine confessional songs of discovery, redemption and love. Mandy Connell
