The Prickle Eye Bush (traditional from Child Ballad 95 the maid saved from the gallows)
“Oh Ahangman, stay your Dhand, GStay it for a Dwhile, A
For I Dthink I see my Gsister coming Dover Ayonder Dstile.”
"Oh Asister, have you brought me Dgold? Or Gsilver to set me Dfree? A
For to Dsave my body from the Gcold, cold ground and my Dneck from the Agallows Dtree.”
“Oh Ano, I have not brought you Dgold or Gsilver to set you Dfree A
for to Dsave your body from the Gcold, cold ground and your Dneck from the Agallows Dtree.”
AOh, the prickle-eye Dbush that Gpricks my heart full Dsore A
And if Dever I get out of this Gprickle-eye bush then I will Dnever get Ain it any Dmore.
“Oh Ahangman, stay your Dhand, GStay it for a Dwhile, A
For I Dthink I see my Gmother coming Dover Ayonder Dstile.”
"Oh Amother, have you brought me Dgold? Or Gsilver to set me Dfree? A
For to Dsave my body from the Gcold, cold ground and my Dneck from the Agallows Dtree.”
“Oh Ano, I have not brought you Dgold or Gsilver to set you Dfree A
for to Dsave your body from the Gcold, cold ground and your Dneck from the Agallows Dtree.”
AOh, the prickle-eye Dbush that Gpricks my heart full Dsore A
And if Dever I get out of this Gprickle-eye bush then I will Dnever get Ain it any Dmore.
