O where have you been, Lord Randal, my son ?
O where have you been, my bonny young man ?
I've been with my sweetheart, mother make my bed soon
For I'm sick to the heart and I fain would lie down.

And what did she give you, Lord Randal, my son ?
And what did she give you, my bonny young man ?
Eels boiled in brew, mother make my bed soon
For I'm sick to the heart and I fain would lie down.

What's become of your bloodhounds, Lord Randal, my son ?
What's become of your bloodhounds, my bonny young man ?
O they swelled and died, mother make my bed soon
For I'm sick to the heart and I fain would lie down.

O I fear you are poisoned, Lord Randal, my son,
O I fear you are poisoned, my bonny young man.
O yes, I am poisoned, mother make my bed soon
For I'm sick to the heart and I fain would lie down.

What will you leave your brother, Lord Randal, my son ?

My horse and the saddle, mother make my bed soon

What will you leave your sister, Lord Randal, my son ?

My gold box and rings, mother make my bed soon

What will you leave your true love, Lord Randal, my son ?

The tow and the halter to hang on yon tree,
And let her hang there for the poisoning of me.
