"What will you leave to your mother dear,
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"
"My velvet pall and silken gear,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly."
"And what will you leave to your sister Ann,
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"
"My silken scarf and my golden fan,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly."
"What will you leavo to your sister Grace,
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"
"My bloody cloaths to wash and dress,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly."
"What will you leave to your brother John,
With a heighho! and a lily gay?"
"The gallows-tree to hang him on,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly."
"What will ye leavo to your brother John's wife,
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"
"The wilderness to end her life,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly."
This fair lady in her grave was laid,
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay;
And a mass was o'er her said,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
But it would have made your heart right sair,
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay;
To seo the bridegroom rivo his hair,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
