Where have you been lord randal my son
Where have you been my handsome young one
I've been to my sweethearts mother
Been to my sweethearts mother
Oh make my bed soon I'm sick to my heart
And then will I do

What did you eat there lord randal my son
What did you eat there my handsome young one
Eels and eel broth mother
Eels and eel broth mother
Oh make my bed soon I'm sick to my heart
And then will I do

I fear you've been poisoned lord randal my son
I fear you've been poisoned my handsome young one
On eels and eel broth mother
Eels and eel broth mother
Oh make my bed soon I'm sick to my heart
And then will I do

What will you leave me lord randal my son
What will you leave me my handsome young one
Gold and silver mother
Gold and silver mother
Oh make my bed soon I'm sick to my heart
And then will I do

What will you leave her lord randal my son
What will you leave her my handsome young one
A rope from hell to hang her
A rope from hell to hang her
Oh make my bed soon I'm sick to my heart
And then will I do
