A propos de la chanson ...
extrait de la page wikipedia ...
A palmer (pilgrim) begs a cup from a maid who is washing at the
well, so that he could drink from it. She says she has none.
He says that she would have, if her lover came. She swears
she has never had a lover. He says that she has borne nine
babies (or in different versions, other numbers such as seven
or five) and tells her where she buried the bodies. She begs
some penance from him. He tells her that she will be
transformed into a stepping-stone for seven years, a
bell-clapper for seven, and spend seven years in hell.
In some variants, the children were incestously conceived.

The Well below the Valley
(as sung by Terri McCoy)
A gentleman was passing by
And asked for a drink as he got dry
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
My cup is full up to the brim
And if I were to stoop I might fall in
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
If your true love was passing by
You'd fill him a drink as he got dry
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
She swore by grass, she swore by corn
That her true lover had never been born
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
He says to her you're swearing wrong
For six fine children you've had born
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
If you be a man of noble fame
You'll tell to me the fathers of them
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
There's two of them by your uncle Dan
At the well below the valley-o
And two more by your brother Tom
At the well below the valley-o
And two more by your father dear
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
And if you be a man of noble fame
You'll tell to me what happened to them
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
There's two of them buried beneath the tree
At the well below the valley-o
And two more buried beneath the wall
At the well below the valley-o
And two more by the kitchen door
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
If you be a man of noble fame
You'll tell to me what will happen to myself
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
You'll be seven years a-ringing a bell
At the well below the valley-o
And seven years a-burning in hell
At the well below the valley-o
I'll be seven years a-ringing a bell
But the Lord himself will save my soul
From burning in hell
At the well below the valley-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
Green grows the lily-o
Right among the bushes-o
