Child vol ii	A
	-
	-
In London city was Bicham born	B
He longd strange countries for to see	C
But he was taen by a savage Moor	D
Who handld him right cruely	E
	-
For thro his shoulder he put a bore	F
An thro the bore has pitten a tree	C
And he's gard him draw the carts o wine	G
Where horse and oxen had wont to be	C
	-
He's casten him in a dungeon deep	H
Where he coud neither hear nor see	C
He's shut him up in a prison strong	I
An he's handld him right cruely	E
	-
O this Moor he had but ae daughter	J
I wot her name was Shusy Pye	K
She's doen her to the prison house	L
And she's calld young Bicham one word by	K

O hae ye ony lands or rents	M
Or citys in your ain country	C
Coud free you out of prison strong	I
An coud maintain a lady free	C

O London city is my own	N
An other citys twa or three	C
Coud loose me out o prison strong	I
An could maintain a lady free	C

O she has bribed her father's men	O
Wi meikle goud and white money	C
She's gotten the key o the prison doors	P
And she has set Young Bicham free	C

She's gi'n him a loaf o good white bread	Q
But an a flask o Spanish wine	G
An she bad him mind on the ladie's love	R
That sae kindly freed him out o pine	G

Go set your foot on good ship board	S
An haste you back to your ain country	C
An before that seven years has an end	T
Come back again love and marry me	C
	-
It was long or seven years had an end	T
She longd fu sair her love to see	C
She's set her foot on good ship board	S
An turnd her back on her ain country	C
	-
She's saild up so has she down	U
Till she came to the other side	V
She's landed at Young Bicham's gates	W
An I hop this day she sal be his bride	V

Is this Young Bicham's gates says she	C
Or is that noble prince within	X
He's up the stair wi his bonny bride	V
An monny a lord and lady wi him	Y

O has he taen a bonny bride	V
An has he clean forgotten me	C
An sighing said that gay lady	C
I wish I were in my ain country	C

She's pitten her ban in her pocket	Z
An gin the porter guineas three	C
Says Take ye that ye proud porter	J
An bid the bridegroom speak to me	C

O whan the porter came up the stair	A2
He's fa'n low down upon his knee	C
Won up won up ye proud porter	J
And what makes a' this courtesy	C

But there is a lady at them now	B2
The like of whom I never did see	C

For on every finger she has a ring	C2
An on the mid finger she has three	C
An there's as meikle goud aboon her brow	B2
As woud buy an earldom o lan to me	C
	-
Then up it started Young Bicham	C
An sware so loud by Our Lady	C
It can be nane but Shusy Pye	K
That has come oor the sea to me	C
	-
O quickly ran he down the stair	A2
O fifteen steps he has made but three	C
He's tane his bonny love in his arms	D2
An a wot he kissd her tenderly	C
	-
O hae you tane a bonny bride	V
An hae you quite forsaken me	C
An hae ye quite forgotten her	J
That gae you life an liberty	C
	-
She's lookit oer her left shoulder	J
To hide the tears stood in her ee	C
Now fare thee well Young Bicham she says	E2
I'll strive to think nae mair on thee	C
