Peggy Seeger – Mary Hamilton

Peggy Seeger – Mary Hamilton Lyrics

Artist: Peggy Seeger
Song: Mary Hamilton

News has come to the kitchen
News came to the hall
That Mary Hamilton’s borne a babe
To the highest one of all

News has come to the kitchen
News has came to me
That Mary Hamilton’s killed her baby
And thrown him in the sea

“Mary, put on your robe of black
Or yet your robe of brown
Mary come along with me
And to go to Edenborough town?

She put not on your robe of black
Nor yet her robe of brown
She put on her brightest white
To go to Edenborough town

Last night I washed the old queen’s feet
And carried hеr to her bed
This night she gavе me my reward
The gallows hard to tread

Little did my mother think
When first she cradle me
That I should die so far from home
On the gallows tree

Happy, happy is the girl
Who’s born of beauty free
It is my rosy, dimpled cheek
Has been the ruin of me

Last night there were four Marys
This night there’ll be but three
There’s Mary Beaton, There’s Mary Seton
There’s Mary Carmichael and me
