Judy Collins - The Prickilie Bush CAPO: 2nd Fret [Intro] [Chorus] Oh the prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore If I ever get out of the prickilie bush I’ll never get in it anymore [Verse 1] Hangman stay your rope Will you stay it for a while I think I see my mother coming Riding over yonder stile [Verse 2] Mother did you bring me gold Or silver to pay my fee For to save my body from the cold clay ground My neck from the gallows tree [Verse 3] I didn’t bring you gold Or silver to pay your fee But I have come to see you hang On the gallows tree [Chorus] Oh the prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore If I ever get out of the prickilie bush I’ll never get in it anymore [Verse 4] Hangman stay your rope Will you stay it for a while I think I see my father coming Over yonder stile [Verse 5] Father did you bring me gold Or silver to pay my fee Or have you come to see me hang On the gallows tree [Verse 6] I didn’t bring ya gold Or silver to pay your fee Your mother and I have come today To see you on the gallows tree [Chorus] Oh the prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore If I ever get out of the prickilie bush I’ll never get in it anymore [Verse 7] Hangman stay your rope Once more for a while I think I see my darling coming Over yonder stile [Verse 8] Darling did you bring me gold Or silver to pay my fee For to save my body from the cold clay ground My neck from the gallows tree [Verse 9] I brought ya gold And silver to pay your fee I did not come to see you hang On the gallows tree [Chorus] Oh the prickilie bush It pricks my heart full sore But now that I’m out of the prickilie bush I’ll never get in it anymore
