Late at een drinkin' the wine	A
And ere they paid the lawin'	A
They set a combat them between	A
To fight it in the dawin'	A
	-
'O stay at hame my noble lord	B
O stay at hame my marrow	C
My cruel brother will you betray	D
On the dowie houms o' Yarrow '	-
	-
'O fare ye weel my lady gay	D
O fare ye weel my Sarah	E
For I maun gae tho' I ne'er return	A
Frae the dowie banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
She kiss'd his cheek she kamed his hair	F
As she had done before O	C
She belted on his noble brand	G
An' he 's awa to Yarrow	C
	-
O he 's gane up yon high high hill	H
I wat he gaed wi' sorrow	C
An' in a den spied nine arm'd men	A
I' the dowie houms o' Yarrow	C
	-
'O are ye come to drink the wine	A
As ye hae doon before O	C
Or are ye come to wield the brand	G
On the dowie banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
'I am no come to drink the wine	A
As I hae don before O	C
But I am come to wield the brand	G
On the dowie houms o' Yarrow '	-
	-
Four he hurt an' five he slew	I
On the dowie houms o' Yarrow	C
Till that stubborn knight came him behind	J
An' ran his body thorrow	C
	-
'Gae hame gae hame good brother John	A
An' tell your sister Sarah	C
To come an' lift her noble lord	B
Who 's sleepin' sound on Yarrow '	-
	-
'Yestreen I dream'd a dolefu' dream	K
I ken'd there wad be sorrow	C
I dream'd I pu'd the heather green	A
On the dowie banks o' Yarrow '	-
	-
She gaed up yon high high hill	H
I wat she gaed wi' sorrow	C
An' in a den spied nine dead men	A
On the dowie houms o' Yarrow	C
	-
She kiss'd his cheek she kamed his hair	C
As oft she did before O	C
She drank the red blood frae him ran	A
On the dowie houms o' Yarrow	C
	-
'O haud your tongue my douchter dear	C
For what needs a' this sorrow	C
I'll wed you on a better lord	B
Than him you lost on Yarrow '	-
	-
'O haud your tongue my father dear	C
An' dinna grieve your Sarah	C
A better lord was never born	A
Than him I lost on Yarrow	C
	-
'Tak hame your ousen tak hame your kye	L
For they hae bred our sorrow	C
I wiss that they had a' gane mad	M
When they cam first to Yarrow '	-
