Letra de Rosie Ann

Fair Rosie sits all by the door
Weeping and making moan
When along there came her father
Saying "What ails you Rosie Ann?"
"Oh pity me, my father
For good reason do I cry
There is a child by my brother John
That lies between my sides."
Her brother John was standing by
And Rosie's cries he heard
He’s gone straight to his sister's side
And cursed her with these words
"Oh you have told our father dear
How I did make you cry
Now I must draw my sharpened sword
And on it you must die."
"What blood is that upon your sword son?
John come tell me?"
"Oh mother dear it is my horse
As you can plainly see."
"Your horse's blood is not so red son
John come tell to me?"
"Oh I have slain fair Rosie
And cut her body in three."
"What will you tell your father dear, son?
John come tell to me?"
"I will take his finest sailing ship
And sail across the sea."
"And when will you come home again son?
John come tell to me?"
"When sun and moon meet in the sky
And that will never be."
