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.
