How Come That Blood

How come that blood all over your shirt?
 My son come tell it to me
 It is the blood of my galant gray hawk who flies across the field
 Got a gray hawk's blood and was never so red
 My son come tell it to me
 It is the blood of my galant greyhound who hunts the woods with me
 Got a greyhound's blood and was never so red
 My son come tell it to me
 It is the blood of my galant gray mare I used to ride so gay
 Got a gray mare's blood and was never so red
 My son come tell it to me
 It is the blood of my own dear brother who lately I have slain
 What did you and him fall out about?
 My son come tell it to me
 I cut him down yon hazelnut tree it caused it for to be
 And what you gonna do when your daddy finds out?
 My son come tell it to me
 I'll set my foot in yonder ship and I'll sail across the sea
 What you gonna do with your pretty little wife?
 My son come tell it to me
 She'll set her foot in yonder ship and she'll sail along with me
 And what you gonna do with the children three?
 My son come tell it to me
 I'll leave them here along with you to bear you company
 I'll leave them here along with you to bear you company
 And when you coming home?
 My son come tell it to me
 When the sun and the moon shines in the north hills and that will never be
 When the sun and the moon shines in the north hills and that will never be
