lyrics

Down by the greenwood
Where the river runs high
Down by the greenwood side
A young man came a-courting me
By day and by night
Down by the greenwood side

Oh I gave my love
Cares far from my mind
Down by the greenwood side

Oh I should have known
That when I awoke
He would leave but his shadow behind
Now what becomes of me
Alone in my grief
Down by the greenwood side

Oh I gave my love
Cares far from my mind
Down by the greenwood side

There came three ravens
Ravens one two three
They came a-mocking me
A maid, a maid, her bed never should have made
At the top of a high high tree

For men they will lie
And change their minds
Down by the greenwood side

Down by the greenwood
I shall lay down to sleep
Far from the ravens cry
And no raven and no man
Shall ever awaken me
Down by the greenwood side

For in sleep I shall stay
Twelve months and a day
Down by the greenwood side
