The Dolmen
Gallow Tree (Traditional)
Oh the Prickle Eye Bush pricks my heart so sore
And if I ever get out of this Prickle Eye Bush
I’ll get it in no more
Hangman, stay your hand
Stay for a while
‘Cause I think I see my mother coming
Over yonder stile
Hey mother, have you brought me gold?
Or silver to set me free?
To save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree?
Oh no, she said, I’ve not brought you gold
Or silver to set you free
To save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree
Hangman, stay your hand
Stay for a while
‘Cause I think I see my sister coming
Over yonder stile
Hey sister, have you brought me gold?
Or silver to set me free?
To save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree?
Oh no, I’ve not brought you gold, she says
Or silver to set you free
Or to save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree
Hangman, stay your hand
Oh stay for a while
‘Cause I think I’ve saw my own true love
Over yonder stile
Hey Julie, have you brought me gold?
Or silver to set me free?
To save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree?
Oh yes, I have brought you gold, she says
And silver to set you free
To save your beautiful body
And your neck from the gallows tree
She said...
And if I ever get out of this Prickle Eye Bush
I’ll get it in no more
