ROLLING OF THE STONES (2) Monday morning go to school, Friday evening home Oh brother will you walk with me all in the Greenwood Where we were wont to roam Will you go to the rolling of the stones Or the tossing of the ball? Or will you go and see pretty Susie And dance among them all I will not go to the rolling of the stones Or the tossing of the ball But I will go and see pretty Susie And dance among them all The eldest threw his brother down Hw threw him to the ground And the sword at his young brother's side Gave him his fatal wound Oh will you drink of the blood The white wine and the red Or will you go and see Pretty Susie When that I am dead He picked him up and carried him along For he was sore distressed He carried him and buried him all in the greenwoods Where he was wont to rest Pretty Susie she came a wandering by With a tablet under her arm Until she came to her true love's grave And she began to charm She charmed the fish out of the sea And the birds out of their nests She charmed her true lover out of his grave So he could no longer rest She charmed the birds out of the sky And the fish out of the bay And there she lay in her true love’s arms Where she was content to stay. Will you go to the rolling of the stones Or the tossing of the ball? Or will you go and see pretty Susie And dance among them all I will not go to the rolling of the stones Or the tossing of the ball And never will I see your pretty Susie Dance among them all Child #49 Fragment of The Two Brothers Version from Paul and Liz Davenport, Under the Leaves @magic @murder @courting @family filename[ ROLLSTO2 TUNE FILE: ROLLSTON CLICK TO PLAY SOF Feb07  8note Sheet |
