And a doughty knichte is tree | B |
And sure hee is on a message sent | C |
He rydis see hastilie | D |
Hee passit the aik and hee passit the birk | E |
And hee passit monie a tre | F |
Bot plesant to him was the saugh sae slim | G |
For beneath it hee did see | B |
The boniest ladye that ever he saw | H |
Scho was see schyn and fair | I |
And there scho sat beneath the saugh | J |
Kaiming hir gowden hair | I |
And then the knichte Oh ladye brichte | C |
What chance hes brought you here | K |
But say the word and ye schall gang | L |
Back to your kindred dear | M |
Then up and spok the Ladye fair | I |
I have nae friends or kin | N |
Bot in a littel boat I live | J |
Amidst the waves loud din | N |
Then answered thus the douchty knichte | C |
I ll follow you through all | D |
For gin ye bee in a littel boat | C |
The world to it seemis small | D |
They gaed through the wood and through the wood | C |
To the end of the wood they came | O |
And when they came to the end of the wood | C |
They saw the salt sea faem | O |
And then they saw the wee wee boat | C |
That daunced on the top of the wave | J |
And first got in the ladye fair | I |
And then the knichte sae brave | J |
They got into the wee wee boat | C |
And rowed wi a their micht | C |
When the knichte sae brave he turnit about | C |
And lookit at the ladye bricht | C |
He lookit at her bonie cheik | L |
And hee lookit at hir twa bricht eyne | N |
Bot hir rosie cheik growe ghaistly pale | D |
And scho seymit as scho deid had been | N |
The fause fause knichte growe pale wi frichte | C |
And his hair rose up on end | C |
For gane by days cam to his mynde | C |
And his former luve he kenned | C |
Then spake the ladye Thou fause knichte | C |
Hast done to mee much ill | D |
Thou didst forsake me long ago | L |
Bot I am constant still | D |
For though I ligg in the woods sae cald | C |
At rest I canna bee | B |
Until I sucke the gude lyfe blude | C |
Of the man that gart me dee | C |
Hee saw hir lipps were wet wi blude | C |
And hee saw hir lyfelesse eyne | N |
And loud hee cry d Get frae my syde | C |
Thou vampyr corps uncleane | N |
Bot no hee is in hir magic boat | C |
And on the wyde wyde sea | C |
And the vampyr suckis his gude lyfe blude | C |
Sho suckis hym till hee dee | C |
So now beware whoe re you are | P |
That walkis in this lone wood | C |
Beware of that deceitfull spright | C |
The ghaist that suckle the blude | C |
