[verse 1]
there was a lady in the north
i ne’er could find her marrow
she was courted by nine gentlemen
and a poor plough boy frae yarrow

[verse 2]
these nine sat drinkin’ at the wine
sat drinkin’ wine in yarrow
they made a vow amongst themselves
they would fight for her in yarrow

[verse 3]
as he walked down yon high, high hill
and down the halls of yarrow
there he spied nine armed men
come to fight with him in yarrow

[verse 4]
and there they flew, and therе he slew
and therе he wounded sorely
’til her brother john came in beyond
and wounded him most foully

[verse 5]
“o father dear, i dreamed a dream
a dream of tears and sorrow
i dreamed i was pullin’ the heather bell
on the doughy dens of yarrow”
[verse 6]
as she walked down yon high, high hill
and down the hills of yarrow
there she spied her lover, don
lyin’ pale and wan on yarrow

[verse 7]
her hair it bein’ three yards long
what color, it was yellow
she’s wrapped it ’round his middle so small
and she bore him down to yarrow

[verse 8]
“o faither dear, you’ve seven sons
you may wed them all tomorrow
for the fairest flower among them all
was the lad i loved on yarrow”
