Lyrics Jimmy Randal - John Jacob Niles

"Where have you been, Jimmy Randall, my son,
Where have you been, my handsome young one?"
"I've been to my true love, Mama,
I've been to my true love, Mama,
Make my bed soon, Mama,
For I'm sick to my heart."

"Where are your hounds, Jimmy Randall, my son,
Where are your hounds, my handsome young one?"
"They swelled up and died, Mama, Make my bed soon, Mama,
For I'm sick to my heart."

"What did you eat, Jimmy Randall, my son,
What did you eat, my handsome young one?"
"Fried eels and onions, Mama, Make my bed soon, Mama,
For I'm sick to my heart."

"I'm 'feared you're poisoned, Jimmy Randall, my son,
I'm 'feared you're poisoned, my handsome young one."
"I'm 'feared I'm poisoned, Mama, Make my bed soon, Mama,
For I'm sick to my heart."
