Greenwood Side is a traditional English/Scottish folk song.
Synopsis: A mother kills her babies in the woods. Full of ancient images familiar to us all - blood that won’t stop flowing from a knife, spirits dressed in white... this is an old tale of unwanted pregnancy, madness and murder. Echoing the Mexican folkloric figure “La Llorona” we meet the archetype of a mother driven to kill and face the eternal pain that follows.
