Loading...

[verse 1]
“riddle me, riddle me mother” he said
“it’s riddle me [?]
whether should i marry the dun broon bride
or bring fair annie hame-oh”

“the dun bride she has horse and cow
fair annie she’s got nae no
so it’s if you tak your old mother’s advice
you’d take the dun bride hame-oh

he’s dressed himself all in the green
and his merry men all in white-oh
and it’s every town that he came to
they took him for some knight-oh

and when he came to fair annie’s gate
he’s tirled [?] at the pin-oh
there was nane so ready as annie herself
for to rise and let him in-oh

“what news, what news” fair annie cried
“what news” hae you for me-oh?
“i’ve come to bid you to my wedding
and that’s sad news for ye-oh”

“well it’s gey sad news to me” she said
“the saddest you could tell
it’s gey sad news to me” she said
“should i bring the bride herself?”

[verse 2]
“riddle me, riddle me, mother” she said
“it’s riddle me [?]
whether should i go to lord thomas’s wedding
or just now stay at hame-oh?”

“lord thomas he has [?]
fair annie you’ve got nae no
so it’s if you tak your old mother’s advice
you would just now stay at hame-oh

but she’s dressed herself all in her white
and her merry maids all in green-oh
and it’s every town that she came to
they took her for some queen-oh

she had four and twenty milk-white swans
atwixt her and the moon-oh
and four and twenty milk-white swans
atwixt her and the sun-oh

and when she came to lord thomas’s gate
she’s tirled [?] at the pin-oh
there was nane so ready as thomas himself
for to rise and let her in-oh

he’s tane her by the milk-white hand
and let her through hall-oh
and sat her in a golden chair
amongst her maiden’s all-oh

and up then spake the dun broon bride
“and it’s oh-so bold” said she-oh
[?] where did you get that watery flower
that washed ye so bright-oh?”

and up then spake fair annie dear
“and it’s oh-so bold” said she-oh
“i got it in ma mother’s ain womb
where you never saw such like her”

[verse 3]
the dun bride had a wee penknife
that hung down by her side-oh
she rent it through fair annie’s breast
and ne’er a word she cried-oh

lord thomas had a gey broadsword
that hung down by his side-oh
he rent it through the dun bride’s breast
and ne’er a word she cried-oh

“well let’s dig a grave” lord thomas, he said
“and dig it wide and deep-oh
and bury fair annie at my side
and the dun bride at my feet-oh
