Originated in England probably as a broadside ballad in mid 17th century, and then evolved in several versions (Child # 20). A mother kills her two illegitimate children but then they reappear... My take, inspired by the Joan Baez (The Greenwood side) and Shirley Collins renditions, uses a Martin JSO! baritone (standard tuning C-C) and a Deering Senator banjo.
The Cruel Mother
There was a fair maiden lived in the North
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
She fell in love with her father's clerk
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
He courted her for a year and a day
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
Till her the young man did her betray
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
She leaned her back up against a thorn
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
Then she had two pretty little boys
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
She took her penknife keen and sharp
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
And she stabbed it to their hearts
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
As she was walking her father's hall
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
She saw two babes a-playing ball
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
She said oh babes if thou were mine
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
I dressed you all in silk so fine
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
Oh mother dear when we were thine
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
You did not treat us then so fine
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
She said Oh babes this you can tell
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
What kind of death I have to die
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
Seven years a fish in the flood
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
Seven years a bird in the wood
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
Seven years a tongue in the warning bell
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
Seven years in the flames of hell
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
Oh welcome welcome fish in the flood
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
Welcome welcome bird in the wood
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
Welcome welcome tongue in the warning bell
Oh, the rose and the lindsay oh
But God keep me from the flames in hell
Down by the greenwood side-e-o
