This song makes everything looks badass.

[vulps]

Why on earth isn't anybody praising the singer (and co-writer) of this song? Sam Lee is one of the finest artists of the English folk scene and the rest of his work is gorgeous too! Check out his other songs, y'all.

[Derpieee]

Never heard of a folk song goes this HARD.

[Geek_Speak_Gaming]

Loved this movie, and this song completely made the scene!!!

[lilysnapdragon]

This song is incredible and the movie one of my favourites. Watched it many times. 😍

[niles]

This movie is SO under-rated along with the music!
FUCK THE CRITICS!
Beautifully crafted story and amazing music!
I'm going to see it again and bring friends with me this time

[b.l.w.]

so intense wish I could find more music like this.

[sskoog]

This originates (is adapted) from a old English folk-song -- "Lord Randal, " or "The Wild Wild Berry, " or dozens of other variations -- it is thought to date back to the 1200s (possibly based on Randal, Earl of Chester, d. 1232), but the first known version was an Italian ballad sung in 1600s Verona. This updated version is fantastic.

[IAMDEH]

Such an underrated movie of an underrated actor.

[CarolynRRoa]

That's the kind of music that makes you feel you can go throught any thing

[Ysabeau]

I've seen this in theaters 3 times and it just keeps getting better and better 🙃🙃

[thepottergames]

As badass as this is, the song tells a story of a guy who nearly died eating poison berries

[mkcinema]

when i heard the first second of the song i've already felt in love with it, love the film <3

[inkakoutna]

The music made the movie SO MUCH better. It's so epic and song is full of emotions and tribal feel. 10/10 would dance around fire to this

👉 *LYRICS for 'The Devil and The Huntsman' aka 'The Wild, Wild Berry'* 👈

_Young man came from hunting faint and weary_
_"What does ail my lord, my dearie?"_
_"Oh brother dear, let my bed be made_
_For I feel the gripe of the woody nightshade"_

_Many a man would die as soon_
_Out of the light of a mage's moon_
_'Twas not by bolt, but yet by blade_
_Can break the magic that the devil made_

_'Twas not by fire, but was forged in flame_
_That can drown the sorrows of a huntsman's pain_

_This young man he died fair soon_
_By the light of the hunters' moon_
_'Twas not by bolt, nor yet by blade_
[But] _of the berries of the woody nightshade_

_"Oh father dear lie here be safe_ (?)
_From the path that the devil made"_

I can't find 'The Devil and The Huntsman' lyrics anywhere so I'm going from what I think it sounds like to me on the original upload by the official youtube channel, WaterTower Music and from the original song this version was based on (see below). If anyone finds the lyrics or think it says something else please let me know. The line with (?) is the only one I'm having doubts with. Again there is no official lyric sheet as of yet since the soundtrack has just been released.



*Song Info:*
The original song, 'The Wild, Wild Berry' is possibly based on a Anglo-Scottish border ballad, 'Lord Randall' and tells the tale of Lord Randall returning home to his mother after visiting his lover. Through the mother's inquiry, it is gradually revealed that the Lord has been poisoned by his lover. 'The Devil and The Huntsman' by Sam Lee and Daniel Pemberton is based on Ray Driscoll of Dulwich, London version of 'Lord Randall' and is called 'The Wild, Wild Berry'.

*Other Notes:*
Printed in English Dance and Song, vol. 56 no. 3, Autumn 1994. Ray Driscoll was born in Ireland in 1922, but grew up in London. He learned this song and its unusual tune while living in Shropshire, from an itinerant farm worker called Harry Civil, who used to work on a nearby farm and slept in the barn. Harry was infamous in the locality and was thrown out of pubs on more than one occasion.


*Ray Driscoll's 'The Wild, Wild Berry'*

_Young man come from hunting, faint and weary_
_"What doth ail my lord, my dearie?"_
_"Oh mother dear, let my bed be made_
_For I feel the gripe of the woody nightshade."_

_Lie low, sweet Randal_
_Now all you young wains that do eat full well_
_And they that sup right merry_
_'Tis better, I entreat, to have toads for your meat_
_Than to eat of the wild, wild berry._

_This young man, he died eftsoon_
_By the light of a hunter's moon_
_'Twas not by bolt, nor yet by blade, _
_But the deathly gripe of the deadly nightshade._

_Lie low, sweet Randal_
_Now all you young men that do eat full well_
_And they that sup right merry_
_'Tis better, I entreat, to have toads for your meat_
_Than to eat of the wild, wild berry._

_This lord's false love, they hanged her high_
_For her deeds were the cause of her love to die_
_And within her locks, they entwined a braid_
_Of the leaves and berry of the deadly nightshade._

_Lie low, sweet Randal_
_Now all you young men that do eat full well_
_And they that sup right merry_
_'Tis better, I entreat, to have toads for your meat_
_Than to eat of the wild, wild berry._

This resonates because it is primal.Something old ingrained deep into our brains when our ancestors were fighting off hoards trying to capture our villages in a time forgotten long ago.

[noeldale]

Superb. No other word describes this song, the score and to be frank the film. The critics - utterly blind.

[cyraursa]

Anyone else smashin' the replay button!?

[MrCreepers]

I searched Heart Shaped Box covers, found this and now sharpening an Axe I didn’t even know I had.

[oliverfox]

Legend of the sword, brilliant movie along with this song. Perfect song for the movie 🎥
