	The Two Brothers
	5 It's take me up all on your back And carry me to yonder churchyard. And dig my grave both wide and deep And gentle lie me down. 6 What will you tell your father When he calls for his son John ? You can tell him I'm in some low green woods A-leaming young hounds to run. 7 What will you tell your mother When she calls for her son John ? You can tell her I'm in some graded school, Good scholar to never return. 8 What will you tell your true love When she calls for her dear John ? You can tell her I'm in some lonesome grave, My books to carry home. 9 One sweet kiss from your clay, clay lips Will bring my day short on.
	D

	2 O what do you want with me, young Suse, 0 what do you want with me ? 1 want one kiss from your sweet lips And then I can rest in peace.
