JEALOUS BROTHERS



Late one evening, a couple sat talking

Two brothers were listening what were said

Saying, "This courtship, it's got to be ended

Or lay this young man in his grave

Or lay this young man in his grave"



Late that evening, it's talking of a hunting

They insisting upon him to go

They kept on insisting upon him

Till, at last, he'd agreed to go

Till, at last, he'd agreed to go



They rode over hills and mountains

Many of a path that were unknown

They rode till they came to some dark hollow

And there they left him dead alone

And there they left him dead alone

Late that evening, as they returned

The sister inquiring of her own true love

Saying, "He got lost in a game of hunting

And there were no more seen of him

And there were no more seen of him"



She rose up early next morning

Dressed in her silk so fine

She rode all over hills and mountains

And a many of a path were unknown

And a many of a path were unknown



She rode till she came to some dark hollow

And there she found him dead alone

She turned him over and ever

Crying, "Darling bosom friend of mine"

Crying, "Darling bosom friend of mine"
