The reivers they stole Fair Annie	A
As she walk'd by the sea	A
But a noble knight was her ransom soon	B
Wi' gowd and white monie	B
	-
She bided in strangers' land wi' him	C
And none knew whence she cam	D
She lived in the castle wi' her love	E
But never told her name	F
	-
'It 's narrow narrow mak your bed	G
And learn to lie your lane	B
For I'm gaun owre the sea Fair Annie	B
A braw Bride to bring hame	F
Wi' her I will get gowd and gear	H
Wi' you I ne'er gat nane	B
	-
'But wha will bake my bridal bread	G
Or brew my bridal ale	I
And wha will welcome my bright Bride	J
That I bring owre the dale '	-

'But she that welcomes my bright Bride	J
Maun gang like maiden fair	K
She maun lace on her robe sae jimp	L
And comely braid her hair	K
	-
'Bind up bind up your yellow hair	K
And tie it on your neck	M
And see you look as maiden like	N
As the day that first we met '	-
	-
'O how can I gang maiden like	N
When maiden I am nane	B
Have I not borne six sons to thee	B
And am wi' child again '	-
	-
'I'll put cooks into my kitchen	B
And stewards in my hall	O
And I'll have bakers for my bread	G
And brewers for my ale	I
But you're to welcome my bright Bride	J
That I bring owre the dale '	-
	-
Three months and a day were gane and past	P
Fair Annie she gat word	Q
That her love's ship was come at last	P
Wi' his bright young Bride aboard	R
	-
She 's ta'en her young son in her arms	S
Anither in her hand	T
And she 's gane up to the highest tower	U
Looks over sea and land	T
	-
'Come doun come doun my mother dear	H
Come aff the castle wa'	V
I fear if langer ye stand there	K
Ye'll let yoursell doun fa' '	-

She 's ta'en a cake o' the best bread	G
A stoup o' the best wine	B
And a' the keys upon her arm	F
And to the yett is gane	B

'O ye're welcome hame my ain gude lord	R
To your castles and your towers	W

To your ha's but and your bowers	W
And welcome to your hame fair lady	B
For a' that 's here is yours '	-

'O whatna lady 's that my lord	R
That welcomes you and me	B
Gin I be lang about this place	X
Her friend I mean to be '	-

Fair Annie served the lang tables	Y
Wi' the white bread and the wine	B
But ay she drank the wan water	U
To keep her colour fine	B
	-
And she gaed by the first table	Z
And smiled upon them a'	A2
But ere she reach'd the second table	Z
The tears began to fa'	E
	-
She took a napkin lang and white	B2
And hung it on a pin	B
It was to wipe away the tears	C2
As she gaed out and in	B
	-
When bells were rung and mass was sung	D2
And a' men bound for bed	G
The bridegroom and the bonny Bride	J
In ae chamber were laid	E2
	-
Fair Annie's ta'en a harp in her hand	T
To harp thir twa asleep	L
But ay as she harpit and she sang	F2
Fu' sairly did she weep	L

'O gin my sons were seven rats	G2
Rinnin' on the castle wa'	V

Rinnin' owre yon lily lea	B
And I mysell a good greyhound	I2

Then out and spak the bonny young Bride	J
In bride bed where she lay	J2

'I'll put on my gown ' said the new come Bride	J
'And my shoes upon my feet	L2
I will see wha doth sae sadly sing	M2
And what is it gars her greet	L2
	-
'What ails you what ails you my housekeeper	U
That ye mak sic a mane	B
Has ony wine barrel cast its girds	N2
Or is a' your white bread gane '	-
	-
'It isna because my wine is spilt	O2
Or that my white bread's gane	B
But because I've lost my true love's love	E
And he 's wed to anither ane '	-
	-
'Noo tell me wha was your father ' she says	K2
'Noo tell me wha was your mother	U
And had ye ony sister ' she says	K2
'And had ye ever a brother '	-
	-
'The Earl of Wemyss was my father	U
The Countess of Wemyss my mother	U
Young Elinor she was my sister dear	H
And Lord John he was my brother '	-
	-
'If the Earl of Wemyss was your father	U
I wot sae was he mine	B
And it 's O my sister Annie	B
Your love ye sallna tyne	B
	-
'Tak your husband my sister dear	H
You ne'er were wrang'd for me	B
Beyond a kiss o' his merry mouth	P2
As we cam owre the sea	B
	-
'Seven ships loaded weel	J2
Cam owre the sea wi' me	B
Ane o' them will tak me hame	B
And six I'll gie to thee '	-
