"My gay gold ring and my feathered fan,"
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
"What would ye give to your brother John?"
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay.
"A rope and a gallows to hang him on!"
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
"What would ye give to your brother John's wife?"
With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay.
"Grief and sorrow to end her life!"
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
