Sheath and Knife - Live
And the sun goes over the woods And the sun goes over the woods
There was a sister and her brother And they did so love oneaAnother
O Sister I'd lay ye down O sister we'll gang to the broom
O Brother would you do so For to my death I'd rather
The folk they talk hey talk together About a lass with bairn to her brother
O Brother you've done me ill And we'll both burn on yon hill
O Sister go - go to my Father's stables And take twa horses stout and able
She's on the with horse and he's on the black With a yew tree bow slung to his back
They'd nae gone a mile but one When her pains they did come on
I would give all my Father's Land For a good midwife at my command
O brother take me to yon hill so high Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Fetch your bow and your arrow and your good eye
And when you hear my loud loud cry You bend the bow and you let that arrow fly
And when he heard her loud loud cry He bent the bow and he let that arrow fly
And when he came to her side The babe was born and the lady died
He took up his newborn son Took him to the arms of a milk woman
Then he cut himself for good and sure He'll not not gand to the broom any more
O Mother I have lost my knife I loved it better than my life
But I have loved a better thing The bonnie sheath that my knife went in
But I have loved a better thing The bonnie sheath that my knife went in
And the sound goes over the woods And the sound goes over the woods
