Verse 1
Gm
There lived a wife in
Arsh as well
and a wealthy wife is she
Csus2
Gm
She'd three fine and stalwart sons
and sent them o 'er the sea
They'd not been gone a week
and a week'd been barely one
Csus2
Gm
When death sweeping over the land
took them one by one
And they'd not been gone a week,
a wink but barely three
Csus2
Gm
When word come to that young girl,
a babe she'd never see
Csus2
Gm
I wish the wind would nev er blow,
Csus2
no fish swim in the flood
Gm
Till my darling babes are home,
they're home in flesh and blood
Gsus2
Gm
Csus2
Gm
And there about the mountain mass,
the knights along the knock,
Csus2
Gm
Heard three kids come to her door,
their hats were made of bark,
And the tree never grew in any ditch,
nor down by any wall.
Csus2
Gm
But at the gates of paradise,
be strong and true to all
Csus2
Gm
Blow out the fire, my maidens,
Csus2
or bring wa ter from the well
Gm
Csus2
Gm
Since my darling babes are home,
Csus2
Gm
they come home safe and well
So she has laid the table with bread
and with wine
Csus2
Gm
Come eat and drink, my darling babes,
Eat and drink, and mime.
We may not eat your bread, mother,
Nor may we drink your wine,
Csus2
Gm
For cold death is lord of all,
To him we must resign.
Csus2
Gm
Csus2
The green grass is at our head,
Gm
And the clay is at our feet,
Csus2
Gm
And your tears come tumbling down,
Csus2
Gm
And wet our whining sheet.
So she has made the bed for them,
spread the milk white sheet
Csus2
Gm
She's laid it all with cloth of gold
to see if they could sleep
Csus2
Gm
And up and crew the red cock,
Csus2
up and crew the grey
Gm
Csus2
Gm
And the youngest to the eld est says,
brother we must away
And the cock had not crowed once
and clapped his wings for day
When the eldest to the youngest says,
Brother, we must away
For the cock crowed the day
Dawn, the chonnering wurrum shrie
Csus2
And if we're missed
Then, pain, we must bide
Csus2
Gm
Farewell, farewell, my mother dear
Csus2
Gm
Farewell to barn and fire
Csus2
Gm
Oh, farewell, the sweet young girl
Gsus2
Gm
Csus2
Gm
Kindling her mother's fire
