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