Sorry, i didn't read your post as well as i should have; i thought you were after the music. Since i messed up, i did some research in www.google.com for you and found a few possibilities, probably all wrong:
There are many versions of the song. Which one are you after? There are about four sets of lyrics at the database at www.mudcat.org Just type [cruel mother] in square brackets in the lyrics search box and different versions will come up as a result.
I found this tune when i was searching and mp3.com there it's done by a group named Lothlorien. I've been taking looks at the url's given above and noticed that they use some verses of the different lyrics.... but they all helped me a lot finding the lyrics.... thanks again!

Ooops!
Sorry, i didn't read your post as well as i should have; i thought you were after the music. Since i messed up, i did some research in www.google.com for you and found a few possibilities, probably all wrong:
http://www.contemplator.com/folk4/mother.html
http://ingeb.org/songs/aministe.html
http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/~zierke/steeleye.span/songs/thecruelmother.html
http://www.crosswinds.net/~wolfbane/mother.html
All this and more when i typed "The Cruel Mother" in Google's search box.
The point is, fellow music lovers, use Google. Google is your friend. And use the ABC tune finder too, if you're after the little black dots.
