Who Put the Blood Lyrics
And where have you been all summer's day?
Son, tell it unto me
A-fishing and a-fowling in the fields and the forest
Weary, Mother, let me be
Weary, Mother, let me be
Who put the blood on your right shoulder?
Son, tell it unto me
'Twas the blood of the hare that I killed yesterday
I killed it most manfully
Killed it most manfully
Ah but the blood of a hare would ne'er be so red
Son, tell it unto me
It's the blood of the boy that I killеd yesterday
I killed him most manfully
I killеd him most manfully
What was between yourself and the boy?
Son, tell it unto me
'Twas nothing but the cutting down of the rod
That never would come to be a tree
Would come to be a tree
But son, what will you do when your daddy finds out?
Son, tell it unto me
I'll put my foot on board of a ship and sail away
Sail to a foreign country
Sail to a foreign country
What will you do with your lovely wedded wife?
Son, tell it unto me
She can put her foot onboard of ship
And follow after me
Ah, she can follow after me
What will you do with your two fine babes?
Son, tell it unto me
I'll give one to me father and the other to me mother
To keep them company
To keep them company
Oh and what will you do with your house and your lands?
Oh son, tell it unto me
I'll lay them bare to the birds and the air
There's no more welcome for me
There's no more welcome for me
There's no more welcome for me
There's no more welcome for me
There's no more welcome for me
Oh, there's no more welcome for me
