Lyrics
The Rolling of the Stones
Words trad/anon 16th century, music Paul James.
Will you go to the rolling of the stones. The dancing of the ball? Or will you go and see pretty Susie Dance among them all.
Susie charmed the birds from the sky. The fish from out of the bay, And when she lay in her true lovers arms, There was content to stay.
They had not danced but one single dance, Not half the floor around, When the sword that hung by her brother’s side, Gave him a fatal wound.
They picked him up, they carried him along, They laid him there on the ground, And there he lay ‘til the break of the day, And made not a single sound.
Will you drink of the blood, The white wine and the red, Or will you go and see pretty Susie, When that I am dead.
