There was a girl on yonder hill
All in the grass a green o
Who loved a boy (she loves him still)
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
He told her that he loved her too
All in the grass a green o
And kissed her under skies of blue
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
One day she spied him in the town
All in the grass a green o
With a pretty maid in a yellow gown
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
She followed them to Bluebell Wood
All in the grass a green o
And watched, although her heart did thud
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
He took that maid into his arms
All in the grass a green o
And laid upon her all his charms
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
And then the girl from yonder hill
All in the grass a green o
Took out a knife intent to kill
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
She slashed and stabbed with all her might
All in the grass a green o
My friends, ’twas not a pretty sight
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
And now she hangs on yonder hill
All in the grass a green o
And yet in death she loves him still
Di fiddle aye diddle aye day o
My attempt at a ballad from yesterday’s prompt. I always work a day late because I write my verse before the prompt goes up 🙂
