Lord Thomas and fair Annet	A
Sat all day on a hill	B
When night was come and sun was set	A
They had not talked their fill	B
	-
Lord Thomas said a word in haste	A
And Annet took it ill	B
I winna wed a dowerless maid	A
Against my parents' will	B
	-
You're come of the rich Thomas	C
And I'm come of the poor	D
I'm o'er low to be your bride	A
And I winna be your whore	E
	-
O fair Annet O fair Annet	A
This night you've said me no	F
But long or ever this day month	G
I'll make your heart right woe	F
	-
Come riddle my riddle dear mother he said	A
Come riddle it all in one	H
Whether I will take fair Annet	A
Or bring the brown girl home	I
	-
The nut brown maid has gold and gear	J
Fair Annet she has none	H
And the little beauty fair Annet has	K
O it will soon be gone	L
	-
Sheep will die in cots mother	M
And oxen die in byre	M
And what's this world's wealth to me	N
An I get not my heart's desire	M
	-
Where will I get a pretty little boy	O
That'll run my errands soon	P
That will run to fair Annet's bower	M
And bid her to my wedding	Q
	-
She mauna put on the black the black	R
Nor yet the dowie brown	S
But the scarlet so red and the kerchief so white	A
And her bonny locks hanging down	S
	-
She has called her maries to her bower	M
To lay gold in her hair	M
Where'er you put a plait before	M
See you lay ten times more	M
	-
When Annet was in her saddle set	A
She flamed against the fire	M
The girdle around her middle small	T
Was worth an earl's hire	M
	-
The horse fair Annet rode upon	U
He bounded like the wind	A
With silver he was shod before	M
With burning gold behind	A
	-
And when she came into the kirk	V
She shimmered like the sun	H
The belt that was about her waist	A
Was all with pearls bedone	H
	-
Is this your bride Lord Thomas she said	A
I think she's wondrous brown	H
You might have had as fair a bride	A
As e'er the sun shined on	H
	-
Despise her not fair Annet he said	A
Despise her not now unto me	N
For better I love thy little finger	M
Than all her whole body	N
	-
Then out and spoke the nut brown bride	A
And she spoke out of spite	A
O where got you that rose water	M
That washed your face so white	A
	-
O I did get the rose water	M
Where you will ne'er get none	H
For I did get that rose water	M
Into my mother's womb	W
	-
The bride she drew a long bodkin	H
From out her gay headgear	M
And struck fair Annet to the heart	A
A deep wound and a sair	M
	-
O art thou blind Lord Thomas she said	A
Or do you not well see	N
O do you not see my own heart's blood	A
Run trinkling down my knee	N
	-
He drew his dagger that was so sharp	X
That was so sharp and meet	A
And drove it into the nut brown bride	A
That fell dead at his feet	A
	-
O dig my grave Lord Thomas he said	A
Dig it both wide and deep	Y
And lay fair Annet by my side	A
And the brown girl at my feet	A
