horton barker - lord thomas and fair ellender lyrics
“lord thomas, lord thomas, take my advice
go bring the brown girl home
for she has land and a house of her own
fair ellender, she has none”
he called it to his waiting maids
by one, by two, by three
“go bridle, go saddle my milky white steed
fair ellender i must see”
he rode and he rode till he came to her gate
so lively he tingled the rein
and none were so ready as fair ellender herself
as she rose to let him in
“i’ve come to ask you to my wedding today”
“bad news, lord thomas,” says she
“for i, your bride, i thought i would be
bad news, lord thomas,” said she
she called it to her father and mother
to make them both as one
“shall i go to lord thomas’s wedding
or tarry at home alone?”
she dressed herself so fine in silk
her very maids in green
and every city that she rode through
they took her to be some queen
she rode and she rode till she came to his gate
so lively she tingled the rein
and none were so ready as lord thomas himself
as he rose to let her in
he took her by the lily+white hand
he led her through the hall
he sat her down at the head of the table
among the quality all
“lord thomas,” says she, “is this your bride?
i’m sure she looks very brown
you might have married as fair a young lady
as ever the sun shone on”
the brown girl had a penknife in her hand
it keen and very sharp
between the long ribs and the short
she pierced fair ellender to the heart
he took the brown girl by the hand
he led her through the hall
and with a sword he cut her head off
and kicked it against the wall
he placed the handle against the ground
the point against his breast
saying, “here’s the death of three true lovers
god sent their souls to rest
“i want my grave dug long and wide
and dig it very deep
i want fair ellender in my arms
the brown girl at my feet”
