She leaned herself against an oak 

All alone and aloney 

At first it bent and then it broke 

Down by the green wood side 

 

She leaned herself against a thorn 

All alone and aloney 

And there she had two fine babes born 

Down by the green wood side 

 

She pulled out her snow white breast 

All alone and aloney 

She bid them a-suck for it would be the last 

Down by the green wood side 

 

She pulled down her yellow hair 

All alone and aloney 

And she bound it around their little hands and feet 

Down by the green wood side 

 

She pulled out her little penknife 

All alone and aloney 

And she pierced all in their little tender hearts 

Down by the green wood side 

 

She was sitting in her father’s hall 

All alone and aloney 

She saw her babes a playing with their ball 

Down by the green wood side 

 

Oh babes O babes if you were mine 

All alone and aloney 

I would dress you in the silk so fine 

Down by the green wood side 

 

O mother O mother when we were thine 

All alone and aloney 

You neither dressed us in the course silk nor fine 

Down by the green wood side
