Trad arr Kate Rusby & Damien O’Kane

lyrics

An outlandish knight came from the northland,
He courted a lady fair,
He said he would take her to those northern lands,
And there he would marry her.

Fetch some of your Father’s gold,
And some of your mother’s fee,
And two of the horses from out of the stables,
Where there stands thirty and three.

So she’s mounted on the lily white steed,
And he the dapple grey,
They’ve road til they’ve come unto the seaside,
Three hours before it was day.

Light off, light off your lily white steed,
Deliver it unto me,
For six pretty maidens have I drowned here,
And the seventh will surely be thee.

And take off, take off your silken gowns,
Deliver them unto me,
For I do fear that they are too fine,
To rot in the salt, salt sea.

If I take off my silken gowns,
Then turn your back on me,
For it is not fitting that such a cruel rogue,
A naked women should see.

And cut away the brambles so sharp,
The brambles from off the brim,
For I do fear that they’ll tangle my hair,
And scratch my tender skin.

So he’s turned his back all on the fair maid,
And leant down over the brim,
She’s taken him by his slender waist,
And tumbled him into the stream.

Lie there, lie there you false hearted man,
Lie there instead of me,
For six pretty maidens have you drowned here,
And the seventh has drowned thee.
