Cruel Brother
Three ladies played at cup and ball With a hey and a lady gay Three knights there came among them all The rose it smells so sweetly
And one of them was dressed in red He asked me with him to wed
And one of them was dressed in yellow He asked me to be his fellow
And one of them was dressed in green He asked me to be his queen
O You must ask my father the king And you must ask my mother the queen
You must ask my sister Ann And you must ask my brother John
O I have asked your father the King And I have asked your mother the Queen
And I have asked your sister Ann And I have asked your her brother John

Her sister Ann led her down the path Her brother John set her on her horse
And as she bent to give him a kiss He stuck his penknife into her breast
Now up and ride my foremost man My lady fair looks pale and wan
And what will you leave to your father the king The golden chair that I sit in
And what will you leave to your mother the queen The golden coach that I ride in
And what will you leave to your sister Ann My silver broach and ivory fan
And what will you leave to your brother John A pair of gallows to hang him on
