PRICKLE-EYE BUSH

Oh, the prickle-eye bush, that breaks my heart so sore
If I ever get out of this prickle-eye bush
I'll never get in it any more

ohh, Hangman stay your hand, O stay it for a while
For I think I see my mother coming over yonder stile
oh, mother have you brought me gold, or silver to see me free
To save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree?
No, I have not brought you gold, or silver to see you free
To save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree

Oh, the prickle-eye bush...

Hangman stay your hand, O stay it for a while
For I think I see my sister coming over yonder stile
oh, sister have you brought me gold, or silver to see me free
To save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree?
No, I have not brought you gold, or silver to see you free
To save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree

Oh, the prickle-eye bush...

Hangman stay your hand, O stay it for a while
For I think I see my owen true love coming over yonder stile
oh, True love, have you brought me gold, or silver to set me free
To save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree?
Yes, I have brought you gold, and silver to set you free
To save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree

Oh, the prickle-eye bush, that breaks my heart so sore
If I ever get out of this prickle-eye bush
I'll never get in it any more.
