“Where have ye been all the day, my own dear darling boy? | |
Where have ye been all the day, my own dear comfort and joy?” | |
“I have been to my stepmother, make my bed mummy do, | |
Make my bed mummy do.” | |
“What did she give you for your supper, …?” | |
“I got fish and I got broth, …” | |
“Where did she get the fish that she give you?” | |
“Hedges sought and ditches caught.” | |
“What did you do with your fishbones?” | |
“I gave them to my greyhound.” | |
“Tell me what did your greyhound do?” | |
“There he swelled and there he died.” | |
“I fear that she does you deadly wrong.” | |
“She took me in but she did me slay.” | |
“What will you leave to your mother?” | |
“I'll leave you me house and land.” | |
“What will you leave your stepmother, my own dear darling boy? | |
What will you leave your stepmother, my own dear comfort and joy?” | |
“Bind her with rope and there let her hang with the halter that hangs on the tree | |
For poisoning of me.” |
" Where have ye been all the day, my own dear darling boy? | |
