8 "What will you leave to your mother dear,

With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"

"My velvet pall and silken gear,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly."

"And what will you leave to your sister Ann,

With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"

"My silken scarf and my golden fan,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly."

"What will you leavo to your sister Grace,

With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"

"My bloody cloaths to wash and dress,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly."

"What will you leave to your brother John,

With a heighho! and a lily gay?"

"The gallows-tree to hang him on,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly."

"What will ye leavo to your brother John's wife,

With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay?"

"The wilderness to end her life,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly."

This fair lady in her grave was laid,

With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay;

And a mass was o'er her said,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly.

But it would have made your heart right sair,

With a heigh-ho! and a lily gay;

To seo the bridegroom rivo his hair,

As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
