Oh where have you been Lord Black Neck my son?
Where have you been my Bonny young man
I've been out lamping mother
I've been out lamping mother
Make my bed soon, for I'm sick to my heart
And I fain would lie down
And where are your lurchers Lord Black neck my son
Where are your lurchers my bonny young man
They swelled, and died mother
They swelled and died mother
Make my bed soon for I'm sick to my heart, and I fain would lie down
What had they been chewing Lord Black neck my son
what had they been chewing my bonny young man
