lisa theriot - lady isabel and the elf-knight lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
lady isabel sat at her window a+sewing
aye as the gowans grow g+y
when she heard an elf+knight on his bright h+rn a+blowing
on the first morning in may

[verse 2]
“oh, i wish i’d that h+rn that i hear blow so clearly,”
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“and yonder elf+knight for to love me so dearly.”
on the first morning in may

[verse 3]
well this maiden had scarcely the fatal words spoken
aye as the gowans grow g+y
when in at her window the elf+knight has broken
on the first morning in may

[verse 4]
“it is a strange matter, fair maiden,” said he
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“i canna blaw h+rn but you call out to me.”
on the first morning in may

[verse 5]
“but will ye comе down unto yon greenwood side?”
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“comе take a fair horse and together we’ll ride.”
on the first morning in may
[verse 6]
and he’s leapt on a horse and she on another
aye as the gowans grow g+y
and they have gone down to the greenwood together
on the first morning in may

[verse 7]
“light down you, light down you, fair maiden,” says he
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“we are come to the place where ye are to die.”
on the first morning in may

[verse 8]
“hae mercy, hae mercy, sir elf+knight, on me.”
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“till aince more my mother and father i see.”
on the first morning in may

[verse 9]
“well seven king’s daughters here have i slain.”
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“and you’ll be the eighth, will forever remain.”
on the first morning in may

[instrumental]
[verse 10]
“come, sit down a while, rest your head on my knee.”
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“that we may take rest here before that i die.”
on the first morning in may

[verse 11]
and she’s stroked his dark head and she’s whispered so sweet
aye as the gowans grow g+y
that the elf+knight was soon lulléd fast, fast asleep
on the first morning in may

[verse 12]
and she’s ta’en his ain sword+belt and bound him around
aye as the gowans grow g+y
and wi’ his own dirk struck the fiend his death wound
on the first morning in may

[verse 13]
“well, if seven king’s daughters were slain here by ye,”
aye as the gowans grow g+y
“then lie here and keep them all good company.”
on the first morning in may
(on the first morning in may
on the first morning in may)
