Child Part II p	A
	-
	-
True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank	B
A ferlie he spied wi' his ee	A
And there he saw a lady bright	C
Come riding down by the Eildon Tree	A
	-
Her skirt was o the grass green silk	D
Her mantle o the velvet fyne	E
At ilka tett of her horse's mane	E
Hang fifty siller bells and nine	E
	-
True Thomas he pulld aff his cap	F
And louted low down to his knee	E
All hail thou mighty Queen of Heaven	E
For thy peer on earth I never did see	E
	-
O no O no Thomas she said	G
That name does not belang to me	E
I am but the queen of fair Elfland	G
That am hither come to visit thee	E
	-
Harp and carp Thomas she said	G
Harp and carp along wi' me	E
And if ye dare to kiss my lips	H
Sure of your bodie I will be	E
	-
Betide me weal betide me woe	I
That weird sall never daunton me	E
Syne he has kissed her rosy lips	H
All underneath the Eildon Tree	E
	-
Now ye maun go wi me she said	G
True Thomas ye maun go wi me	E
And ye maun serve me seven years	J
Thro weal or woe as may chance to be	E
	-
She mounted on her milk white steed	G
She's taen True Thomas up behind	G
And aye wheneer her bride rung	K
The steed flew swifter than the wind	G
	-
O they rade on and farther on	E
The steed gaed swifter than the wind	G
Until they reached a desart wide	G
And living land was left behind	G
	-
Light down light down now True Thomas	L
And lean your head upon my knee	E
Abide and rest a little space	M
And I will shew you ferlies three	E
	-
O see ye not yon narrow road	G
So thick beset with thorns and briers	M
That is the path of righteousness	M
Tho after it but few enquires	M
	-
And see ye not that braid braid road	G
That lies across that lily leven	E
That is the path of wickedness	M
Tho some call it the road to heaven	E
	-
And see not ye that bonny road	G
That winds about the fernie brae	N
That is the road to fair Elfland	G
Where thou and I this night maun gae	O
	-
But Thomas ye maun hold your tongue	K
Whatever ye may hear or see	M
For if you speak word in Elflyn land	G
Ye'll neer get back to your ain countrie	N
	-
O they rade on and farther on	E
And they waded thro rivers aboon the knee	M
And they saw neither sun nor moon	E
But they heard the roaring of the sea	M
	-
It was mirk mirk night and there was nae stern light	G
And they waded thro red blude to the knee	M
For a' the blude that's shed an earth	P
Rins thro the springs o that countrie	N
	-
Syne they came on to a garden green	E
And she pu'd an apple frae a tree	N
Take this for thy wages True Thomas	M
It will give the tongue that can never lie	O
	-
My tongue is mine ain True Thomas said	G
A gudely gift ye wad gie me	N
I neither dought to buy nor sell	Q
At fair or tryst where I may be	N
	-
I dought neither speak to prince or peer	N
Nor ask of grace from fair ladye	R
Now hold thy peace the lady said	G
For as I say so must it be	N
	-
He has gotten a coat of the even cloth	S
And a pair of shoes of velvet green	E
And till seven years were gane and past	G
True Thomas on earth was never seen	E
