Sam Amidon – How Come That Blood lyrics
How come that blood all over your shirt?
My son, come tell unto me
"It is the blood of my gallant gray hawk
Who flies across the field"

Got a gray hawk's blood and was never so red
My son, come tell unto me
"It is the blood of my gallant greyhound
Who hunts the woods with me"

Got a greyhound's blood and was never so red
My son, come tell unto me
"It is the blood of my gallant gray mare
I used to ride so gay"

Got a gray mare's blood and was never so red
My son, come tell unto me
"It is the blood of my own dear brother
Who lately I have slain"

What'd you and him fall out about?
My son, come tell unto me
"'Bout cutting down yon hazelnut tree
Caused it for to be"

And what're you gonna do when your daddy finds out?
My son, come tell unto me
"I'll set my foot in yonder ship
And I'll sail across the sea"

What're you gonna do with your pretty little wife?
My son, come tell unto me
"Just set her foot in yonder ship
And she'll sail along with me"

And what're you gonna do with the children three?
My son, come tell unto 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 unto me
"When the sun and the moon shine in the north hills
And that will never be
When the sun and the moon shine in the north hills
And that will never be"
