Thread Name: Lyr Req: Chris Coe's Edward (Child #13)
Subject: Lyr Add: EDWARD (from Chris Coe - Child #13)
Edward as sung by Chris Coe. The version is from George Dunn's. I'm not sure of the last verse: Never till our sun sets on yon high tree And that will never never be. Can somebody check and help me? Thanks. Roberto
Edward Chris Coe, A Wiser Fool, Backshift Music, BASH CD51, 2001 (George Dunn's version)
What did you kill your own dear brother for? My boy, come tell it unto me For killing three little dicky birds That flew from tree to tree
What will you do with your houses and your land? My boy, come tell it unto me I'll leave them all to my sister dear For they're no more use to me
What will you leave your dear little brother now? My boy, come tell it unto me I'll leave him a rope to hang himself From yonder high high tree
What will you do when your father comes home? My boy, come tell it unto me I'll place my foot on board a ship And sail to Amerikee
When shall I see your dear dear face again? My boy, come tell it unto me Never till our sun sets on yon high tree And that will never never be
