| What’s that blood upon your sword, Edward?
|
| It is the blood of my gray mare
|
| Your gray mare’s blood is never that red, Edward
|
| You’re telling lies, you’re telling lies
|
| What’s that blood upon your sword, Edward?
|
| It is the blood of my greyhound
|
| Your greyhound’s blood is never that red, Edward
|
| You’re telling lies, you’re telling lies
|
| What’s that blood upon your sword, Edward?
|
| It is the blood of my great hawk
|
| Your great hawk’s blood is never that red, Edward
|
| You’re telling lies, you’re telling lies
|
| And the sun will never shine, Edward
|
| And the moon has lost its light
|
| And the sun will never shine, Edward
|
| You’re telling lies, you’re telling lies
|
| What’s that blood on your sword, Edward?
|
| It is the blood of my brother
|
| Why did you kill your own brother, Edward?
|
| For telling lies, telling lies
|
| And the sun will never shine, Edward
|
| And the moon has lost its light
|
| And the sun will never shine, Edward
|
| You’re telling lies, you’re telling lies
|
| What will you do, where will you go, Edward?
|
| What will you do, how will you die?
|
| I’ll sail away, I’ll sail away, mother
|
| And you’ll never see more of me
|
| What of you wife, what of your son, Edward?
|
| What will you leave to your mother dear?
|
| The curse of hell to burn her with, mother
|
| For telling lies, for telling lies
|
| And the sun will never shine, Edward
|
| And the moon has lost its light
|
| And the sun will never shine, Edward
|
| You’re telling lies, you’re telling lies
|
| Telling lies, telling lies
|
| Telling lies, telling lies
|
| Telling lies, telling lies |
