The Prickly Bush

Intro: G-G-D7-D7-G-G-D7-D7-G-C-G-G

D7	G
Oh the prickly	bush

C	D7	G
Bears my	heart full of	sore

	C	D7	G
And if	ever	I get a	way far of that bush

	D7	G
I'll never get	caught any	more.

	D7	G
So	Hangman wont you	wait and see.

	C	D7	G
Wont you	rest your	hand for a	while

	C	D7	G
For me	thinks I	see my	own father

	D7	G
Coming over	yonder	stile.

	D7	G
Now	father have you brought me	gold

	C	D7	G
Or	silver to	set me	free?

	C	D7	G
Or	have you	come just to	see me hanging,

	D7	G
Hanging from the	gallows	tree?

	D7	G
No,	son I haven't brought you	gold

	C	D7	G
Or	silver to	set you	free.

	C	D7	G
But	I must	watch and	see as you're hanging,

	D7	G
Hanging from the	gallows	tree.

	D7	G
But it's	oh the prickly	bush

	C	D7	G
It	bears my	heart full of	sore

	C	D7	G
And if	ever	I get a	way far of that bush

	D7	G
I'll never get	caught any	more.

	D7	G
So	Hangman wont you	wait and see.

	C	D7	G
Wont you	rest your	hand for a	while

	C	D7	G
For me	thinks I	see my	own mother

	D7	G
Coming over	yonder	stile.

	D7	G
Oh,	mother have you brought me	gold

	C	D7	G
Or	silver to	set me	free?

	C	D7	G
Or	have you	come just to	see me hanging,

	D7	G
Hanging from the	gallows	tree?

	D7	G
No,	son I haven't brought you	gold

	C	D7	G
Or	silver to	set you	free.

	C	D7	G
But	I must	watch and	see as you're hanging,

	D7	G
Hanging from the	gallows	tree.
