Lyrics
The rain runs down through Maryland town The river swell and swell And all the lads in Maryland town Throw pennies to the well And their debts grow higher and higher And their bets and theories do grow And they dared young Hugh to the Jew's Garden Where the scared nor the skeptics dare go Then down came the Jew's daughter All dressed in silk so fine Cried she, "Sir Hugh, o pretty Sir Hugh What appointments have made your mind?" She offered him ripe apples Likewise a gay gold diamond ring And a lily with color as red as blood She enticed this little boy in She took him by the lily-white hand And she led him down the hall She took a penknife to where he could not sound And let his lifeblood fall She wrapped him into his winding sheets Woven out of cloth but all bled And she hurled him down the old town well Saying "Saint Hugh, you must play with the dead"
