Prickle-Eye Bush Songtext
von Ninebarrow

Oh the prickle-eye bush
It pricks my heart full sore
And if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more

Oh hangman stay your hand
Oh 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 set me free
For to save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree

Oh no I haven′t brought you gold
Or silver to set you free
For to save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree


Oh the prickle-eye bush
It pricks my heart full sore
Oh and if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more
And if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more

Oh hangman stay your hand
Oh 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 set me free
For to save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree

Oh no I haven't brought you gold
Or silver to set you free
For to save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree

Oh the prickle-eye bush
It pricks my heart full sore
Oh and if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more
And if ever I get out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more


Oh hangman stay your hand
Oh stay it for a while
For I think I see my own true love
Coming over yonder stile

Oh true love
Have you brought me gold
Or silver to set me free
For to save my body from the cold, cold ground
And my neck from the gallows tree

Oh yes
I have brought you gold
And silver to set you free
Oh to save your body from the cold, cold ground
And your neck from the gallows tree

Oh the prickle-eye bush
It pricks my heart full sore
Oh and now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more
And now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get it in any more

Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more

Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more

Now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more

Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I'm out of this prickle-eye bush
Now that I′m out of this prickle-eye bush
I never will get in it any more
