Child vol i Early Edition	A
	-
	-
Whan he cam to his ain luve's bouir	B
He tirled at the pin	C
And sae ready was his fair fause luve	D
To rise and let him in	C
	-
O welcome welcome Sir Roland she says	E
Thrice welcome thou art to me	F
For this night thou wilt feast in my secret bouir	B
And to morrow we'll wedded be	F
	-
This night is hallow eve he said	G
And to morrow is hallow day	H
And I dreamed a drearie dream yestreen	C
That has made my heart fu' wae	I
	-
I dreamed a drearie dream yestreen	C
And I wish it may cum to gude	J
I dreamed that ye slew my best grew hound	K
And gied me his lappered blude	K
	-
	-
	-
Unbuckle your belt Sir Roland she said	K
And set you safely down	C
O your chamber is very dark fair maid	K
And the night is wondrous lown	C
	-
Yes dark dark is my secret bouir	B
And lown the midnight may be	F
For there is none waking in a' this tower	B
But thou my true love and me	F
	-
	-
	-
She has mounted on her true love's steed	K
By the ae light o' the moon	C
She has whipped him and spurred him	L
And roundly she rade frae the toun	C
	-
She hadna ridden a mile o' gate	K
Never a mile but ane	C
When she was aware of a tall young man	C
Slow riding o'er the plain	C
	-
She turned her to the right about	K
Then to the left turn'd she	F
But aye 'tween her and the wan moonlight	K
That tall knight did she see	F
	-
And he was riding burd alane	C
On a horse as black as jet	K
But tho' she followed him fast and fell	M
No nearer could she get	K
	-
O stop O stop young man she said	K
For I in dule am dight	K
O stop and win a fair lady's luve	D
If you be a leal true knight	K
	-
But nothing did the tall knight say	H
And nothing did he blin	C
Still slowly ride he on before	B
And fast she rade behind	K
	-
She whipped her steed she spurred her steed	K
Till his breast was all a foam	N
But nearer unto that tall young knight	K
By Our Ladye she could not come	O
	-
O if you be a gay young knight	K
As well I trow you be	F
Pull tight your bridle reins and stay	H
Till I come up to thee	F
	-
But nothing did that tall knight say	H
And no whit did he blin	C
Until he reached a broad river's side	K
And there he drew his rein	C
	-
O is this water deep he said	K
As it is wondrous dun	C
Or is it sic as a saikless maid	K
And a leal true knight may swim	L
	-
The water it is deep she said	K
As it is wondrous dun	C
But it is sic as a saikless maid	K
And a leal true knight may swim	L
	-
The knight spurred on his tall black steed	K
The lady spurred on her brown	C
And fast they rade unto the flood	K
And fast they baith swam down	C
	-
The water weets my tae she said	K
The water weets my knee	C
And hold up my bridle reins sir knight	K
For the sake of Our Ladye	P
	-
If I would help thee now he said	K
It were a deadly sin	C
For I've sworn neir to trust a fair may's word	K
Till the water weets her chin	C
	-
Oh the water weets my waist she said	K
Sae does it weet my skin	C
And my aching heart rins round about	K
The burn maks sic a din	C
	-
The water is waxing deeper still	Q
Sae does it wax mair wide	K
And aye the farther that we ride on	C
Farther off is the other side	K
	-
O help me now thou false false knight	K
Have pity on my youth	R
For now the water jawes owre my head	K
And it gurgles in my mouth	S
	-
The knight turned right and round about	K
All in the middle stream	T
And he stretched out his head to that lady	C
But loudly she did scream	T
	-
O this is hallow morn he said	K
And it is your bridal day	H
But sad would be that gay wedding	U
If bridegroom and bride were away	H
	-
And ride on ride on proud Margaret	K
Till the water comes o'er your bree	C
For the bride maun ride deep and deeper yet	K
Wha rides this ford wi' me	C
	-
Turn round turn round proud Margaret	K
Turn ye round and look on me	C
Thou hast killed a true knight under trust	K
And his ghost now links on with thee	C
