lyrics

Oh where have you been?
Randell my son
Oh where have you been?
My sweet pretty one?
I have been to my sweethearts
Mother make my bed soon
For I'm sick to my heart
And fain would lie down

Oh what did she give you?
She gave me some eels

Oh what colour were there?
They were spickled and speckled

Oh they were strong poison
You'll die, you'll die

Oh what'll you leave your mother?
My gold and my jewels

Oh what'll you leave your father?
My land and my houses

Oh what'll you leave your lover?
A rope, for to hang her
