She's leaned her back against an oak
All alone and a'lonely O'
She's pushed, and pushed till her back's nearly broke
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
She's laid her head against a thorn
All alone and a'lonely O'
The two bonniest babes that ever were born
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
She's went back to her fathers castle hall
All alone and a'lonely O'
She-e was the smallest maid of them all
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
She looks over her father's castle wall
All alone and a'lonely O'
Two bonny babies a' playin' at a ball
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
O, dear babies if you were mine
All alone and a'lonely O'
I'd give you bread, and I'd give you wine
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
O Dear Mother, when we were thine
All alone and a'lonely O'
'Round our necks you pulled the twine
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
Now we are in the heaven so High
All alone and a'lonely O'
And in hells fires you will die
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
Only a mother that's ever lost a child
All alone and a'lonely O'
Knows the grief the heart's open wide
Down in the bonny greenwood side e-o
