W:Where have you been all the whole day long?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:A-fishing and a-fowling the whole day long
W:All through mother's treachery,
W:all through mother's treachery

W:What put the blood on your right shoulder?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:'Twas the killing of a hare that I killed today
W:That I killed right manfully, that I killed right manfully
W:
W:The blood of a hare, it would never be so red
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:'Twas the killing of a boy that I killed today
W:That I killed most brutally, that I killed most brutally
W:
W:What came between yourself and the boy?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:It was mostly the cutting of a rod
W:That would never become a tree, that would never become a tree

W:What will you do when your daddy finds out?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:I will put my foot on board a ship
W:And sail to a foreign country, and sail to a foreign country
W:
W:What will you do with your lovely wedded wife?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:She can put her foot on board of a ship
W:And sail there after me, and sail there after me
W:
W:What will you do with your two fine young babes?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:I'll give one to my father and the other to my mother
W:For to keep them company, for to keep them company
W:
W:What will you do with your two fine racehorses?
W:Son, come tell it unto me.
W:I will take the bridles off their necks
W:For they'll run no more for me, for they'll run no more for me.
W:
W:What will you do with your two fine greyhounds?
W:Son, come tell it unto me.
W:I will take the leads all off their necks
W:For they'll run no more for me, they'll run no more for me.
W:
W:What will you do with your house and your lands?
W:Son, come tell it unto me
W:I will lay them bare to the birds of the air
W:For there's no more welcome there for me, for there's no more welcome there for me
