    “Oh slack your horse”, cries George,
    “Come slack it for a while,
    for I think I see my father coming
    over yonder stile”.
    “Did you bring gold,
    did you bring silver to set me free?
    To keep my body from the cold gaol wall
    and my neck from the high gallows tree?”
    “I’ve no gold,
    I’ve no silver to set you free,
    but I have come for to see you hang,
    oh, hang upon the high gallows tree”.
    Oh, the prickle-holly bush, it pricks, it pricks,
    oh it pricks my heart full sore,
    and if ever I get out of the prickle-holly bush
    I’ll never get in there any more.
    (repeat for his mother and sister, then his sweetheart, who responds:)
    “I’ve brought gold,
    I’ve brought silver to set you free,
    For I’ve not come for to see you hang,
    oh, hang upon the high gallows tree”.
    Oh, the prickle-holly bush, it pricks, it pricks,
    oh it pricks my heart full sore,
    And now that I’m out of the prickle-holly bush
    I’ll never get in there any more.

    absolutely beautiful voices each with a unique quality
    I like how both father and daughter slip up at "for to keep my body from the cold jail wall"

      That's the Blood Harmony
      Tyler Coe: The Louvin Brothers: Running Wild
      There’s a thing called “blood harmony,” which is a term for how freakishly well some close family members are able to sing with each other, especially when they were born around the same time.

    There's one bass coming through one side of the headphones and the second bass in the other phone.

      The big baritone is John Bromley of "The Bromleys" and "Kimber's Men". I have found more under Kimber's Men than anywhere else.

      They've a recording on the youtube channel Dunkirk Folk, with a video titled, "The Bromleys - Eggs and Marrowbone" Eggs and Marrowbone is a different name for Tippin it up to Nancy.
      Interestingly, sometimes it is also called "Old Woman from Wexford".

    John's voice is similar to Ronnie Drew but, and I can't believe it, about an octave lower.

      Ronnie had a very hard sound to his voice too. Johns is more mellow yet sharper and more refined. Fellow dubliners fan! How are things
