Joan Baez - Mary Hamilton (Scottish Folk Song)
Показать описание
This week’s cover song - ‘Mary Hamilton’ by Joan Baez, as requested. Thank you for this wonderful request; it’s a great one. Yes, another Joan Baez song I know but everyone seems to like it when I cover her songs. This song is a traditional Scottish 16th century folk song about a lady-in-waiting who gives birth to the King’s child and is hanged for it. (How lovely!) Baez covered a lot of Scottish folk songs as she is half Scottish and this is one of my favourites. There are lots of theories about the historical context of this song but historians generally agree that it is not based on a real event. There is a theory that it is based on the story of Maria Gamentova, daughter of a lord from the Scottish clam Hamilton, who was hanged for birthing and killing a child with Peter the Great of Russia. But again, just a theory. See, with me you get music and history lessons – couldn’t be better!

Lyrics:
Word is to the kitchen gone
And word is to the hall
And word is up to madam the queen
And that's the worst of all
That Mary Hamilton's borne a babe
To the highest Stuart of all
Arise, arise Mary Hamilton
Arise and tell to me
What thou hast done with thy wee babe
I saw and heard weep by thee
I put him in a tiny boat
And cast him out to sea
That he might sink or he might swim
But he'd never come back to me
Arise, arise Mary Hamilton
Arise and come with me
There is a wedding in Glasgow town
This night we'll go and see
She put not on her robes of black
Nor her robes of brown
But she put on her robes of white
To ride into Glasgow town
And as she rode into Glasgow town
The city for to see
The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife
Cried alack and alas for thee
"Oh you need not weep for me", she cried
"You need not weep for me
For had I not slain my own wee babe
This death I would not dee"
Oh little did my mother think
When first she cradled me
The lands I was to travel in
And the death I was to dee
Last night I washed the queen's feet
Put the gold in her hair
And the only reward I find for this
The gallows to be my share
Cast off, cast off my gown, she cried
But let my petticoat be
And tie a napkin round my face
The gallows, I would not see
Then by them come the king himself
Looked up with a pitiful eye
Come down, come down Mary Hamilton
Tonight you will dine with I
Oh hold your tongue, my sovereign liege
And let your folly be
For if you'd a mind to save my life
You would never have shamed me
Last night there were four Marys
Tonight there'll be but three
Mary Beaton and Mary Seton
And Mary Carmichael and me
