Late at e'en drinking the wine	A
And ere they paid the lawing	B
They set a combat them between	C
To fight it in the dawing	B
	-
'What though ye be my sister's lord	D
We'll cross our swords to morrow '	-
'What though my wife your sister be	E
I'll meet ye then on Yarrow '	-
	-
'O stay at hame my ain gude lord	D
O stay my ain dear marrow	F
My cruel brither will you betray	G
On the dowie banks of Yarrow '	-
	-
'O fare ye weel my lady dear	H
And put aside your sorrow	F
For if I gae I'll sune return	I
Frae the bonny banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
She kiss'd his cheek she kaimed his hair	J
As oft she'd done before O	F
She belted him with his gude brand	K
And he's awa' to Yarrow	F
	-
When he gaed up the Tennies bank	B
As he gaed mony a morrow	F
Nine armed men lay in a den	L
On the dowie braes o' Yarrow	F
	-
'O come ye here to hunt or hawk	B
The bonny Forest thorough	F
Or come ye here to wield your brand	K
Upon the banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
'I come not here to hunt or hawk	B
As oft I've dune before O	F
But I come here to wield my brand	K
Upon the banks o' Yarrow	F
	-
'If ye attack me nine to ane	M
That God may send ye sorrow	F
Yet will I fight while stand I may	G
On the bonny banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
Two has he hurt and three has slain	M
On the bloody braes o' Yarrow	F
But the stubborn knight crept in behind	N
And pierced his body thorough	F
	-
'Gae hame gae hame you brither John	O
And tell your sister sorrow	F
To come and lift her leafu' lord	D
On the dowie banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
Her brither John gaed ower the hill	P
As oft he'd dune before O	F
There he met his sister dear	H
Cam' rinnin' fast to Yarrow	F
	-
'I dreamt a dream last night ' she says	Q
'I wish it binna sorrow	F
I dreamt I pu'd the heather green	C
Wi' my true love on Yarrow '	-
	-
'I'll read your dream sister ' he says	Q
'I'll read it into sorrow	F
Ye're bidden go take up your love	R
He's sleeping sound on Yarrow '	-
	-
She's torn the ribbons frae her head	S
That were baith braid and narrow	F
She's kilted up her lang claithing	B
And she's awa' to Yarrow	F
	-
She's ta'en him in her arms twa	T
And gi'en him kisses thorough	F
She sought to bind his many wounds	U
But he lay dead on Yarrow	F
	-
'O haud your tongue ' her father says	Q
'And let be a' your sorrow	F
I'll wed you to a better lord	D
Than him you lost on Yarrow '	-
	-
'O haud your tongue father ' she says	Q
'Far warse ye make my sorrow	F
A better lord could never be	E
Than him that lies on Yarrow '	-
	-
She kiss'd his lips she kaimed his hair	J
As aft she'd dune before O	F
And there with grief her heart did break	B
Upon the banks o' Yarrow	F
