Thomas The Rhymer

True Thomas sat on Huntley bank

And he beheld a lady gay

A lady that was brisk and bold

Come riding o'er the ferny braeHer skirt was of the grass green silk,

Her mantle of the velvet fine

At every lock of her horse's mane

Hung fifty silver bells and nineTrue Thomas, he pulled off his cap

And bowed him low down to his knee

'All hail, thou mighty Queen of Heaven

Your like on earth I ne'er did see.''No, no Thomas she said

That name does not belong to me

I am the queen of fair Elfland

And I have come to visit thee.''You must go with me Thomas she said,

True Thomas you must go with me

And must serve me seven years

Through well or woe, as chance may be.'[Chorus]

Hark and carp, come along with me,

Thomas the Rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me,

Thomas the Rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me,

Thomas the Rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me,

Thomas the RhymerShe turned about her milk white steed

And took Thomas up behind

And aye whenever her bridle rang

Her steed flew swifter than the windFor forty days and forty nights

They rode through red blood to the knee

And they saw neither sun nor moon

But heard the roaring of the seaAnd they rode on and further on

Further and swifter than the wind

Until they came to a desert wide

And living land was left behind'Don't you see yon narrow, narrow road

So thick beset with thorns and briars?

That is the road to righteousness

Though after it but few enquire.''Don't you see yon broad, broad road

That lies across the lily leaven?

That is the road to wickedness

Though some call it the road to heaven.''Don't you see yon bonnie, bonnie road

That lies across the ferny brae?

That is the road to fair Elfland

Where you and I this night must go.'[Chorus]
