lyrics

The wood, the weed, the wag.

The wood is that that makes the gallows tree.
The weed is that that strings the hangman’s bag.
The wag, you pretty knave, betokens thee.
The wood, the weed, the wag.

Green springs the tree, hemp grows, the wag is wild.
But when the three meet, it chokes the child.

The wood, the weed, the wag .
The wood is that that makes the gallows tree.
The weed is that that strings the hangman’s bag.
The wag, you pretty knave, betokens thee.
The wood, the weed, the wag.

Green springs the tree, hemp grows, the wag is wild.
But when the three meet, it chokes the child.
