THE BROTHER-SLAYER

Where have you been, where have you been
my son, my merry son?
On the seashore, on the seashore
mother, my darling one.

And what have you been doing there
my son, my merry son?
I have been watering my horse
mother, my darling one.

Why is there blood upon your feet
my son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with its iron shoe
mother, my darling one.

Why there is blood upon your sword
my son, my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
mother, my darling one.

What now of you, where will you go
my son, my wretched son?
To other lands to foreign lands
my dame, my darling one.

When will you be returning home
my son, my wretched son?
When all the world to judgement comes
my dame, my darling one.

Why is there blood upon your feet
my son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with its iron shoe
mother, my darling one.

Why there is blood upon your sword
my son, my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
mother, my darling one.
THE BROTHER-SLAYER

Where have you been, where have you been
my son, my merry son?
On the seashore, on the seashore
mother, my darling one.

And what have you been doing there
my son, my merry son?
I have been watering my horse
mother, my darling one.

Why is there mud upon your back
my son, my merry son?
Because my horse it swished its tail
mother, my darling one.

Why is there blood upon your feet
my son, my merry son?
My horse stamped with its iron shoe
mother, my darling one.

Why is there blood upon your sword
my son, my merry son?
I have stabbed my brother to death
mother, my darling one.

Why did you stab your brother dead
my son, my wretched son?
Because he dallied with my wife
my dame, my darling one.

What now of you, where will you go
my son, my wretched son?
To other lands, to foreign lands
my dame, my darling one.

Where will you leave your old father
my son, my wretched son?
O let him mend the parish nets
my dame, my darling one.

Where will you leave your old mother
my son, my wretched son?
O let her spin the parish threads
my dame, my darling one.

Where will you leave your fair young wife
my son, my wretched son?
Let her look on the parish men
my dame, my darling one.

Where will you leave your little boy
my son, my wretched son?
O let him bear the parish school
my dame, my darling one.

Where will you leave your little girl
my son, my wretched son?
O let her watch the parish herds
my dame, my darling one.

When will you be returning home
my son, my wretched son?
As soon as ravens glitter white
my dame, my darling one.

And when will ravens glitter white
my son, my wretched son?
As soon as geese are gleaming black
my dame, my darling one.

And when will geese be gleaming black
my son, my wretched son?
As soon as stones on water whirl
my dame, my darling one.

And when will stones on water whirl
my son, my wretched son?
As soon as feathers fall and sink
my dame, my darling one.

And when will feathers fall and sink
my son, my wretched son?
When the sun shines at dead of night
my dame, my darling one.

When will the sun shine at dead of night
my son, my wretched son?
When the moon scorches hot as day
my dame, my darling one.

When will the moon scorch hot as day
my son, my wretched son?
When stars are dancing in the sky
my dame, my darling one.

And when will stars dance in the sky
my son, my wretched son?
When all the world to judgement comes
my dame, my darling one.
