True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank,
Bm F#
B ferlie he spied wi' his e'e,
Bm F#
And there he saw a lady bright
Bm F#m Bm
Come riding down by the Eildon Tree.
Bm F#
Her skirt was o' the grass-green silk,
Bm F#
Her mantle o' the velvet fyne.
Bm F#
At ilka tett o' her horse's mane
Bm F#
Hung fifty siller bells and nine.
Bm F#
True Thomas he pull's aff his cap
Bm F#
And louted low down to his knee:
Bm F#
“All hail, thou mighty Queen o' Heaven!
Bm F# Bm
For thy peer on earth I never did see.”
Bm F#
“O no, o no, Thomas,” she said,
Bm F#
“That name does not belong to me;
Bm F#
I am but the queen of fair Elfland
Bm F# Bm
That am hither come to visit thee.”
Bm F#
“Harp and carp, Thomas,” she said,
Bm F#
“Harp and carp along wi' me.
Bm F#
And if ye dare to kiss my lips,
Bm F# Bm
Sure of your body I will be.”
Bm F#
“Betide me weal, betide me woe,
Bm F#
That weird shall never daunton me.”
Bm F#
Syne he has kissed her rosy lips
Bm F# Bm
All underneath the Eildon Tree.
Bm F#
“Now ye maun gang wi' me,” she said,
Bm F#
“True Thomas, ye maun gang wi' me.
Bm F#
And ye maun serve me seven years
Bm F# Bm
Thro' weal and woe, as may chance to be.”
Bm F#
She mounted on her milk-white steed,
Bm F#
She's ta'en True Thomas up behind.
Bm F#
And aye whene'er her bridle rung
Bm F# Bm
The steed flew faster than the wind.
Bm F#
O they rode on and farther on,
Bm F#
The steed gaed swifter than the wind,
Bm F#
Until they reached a desert wide
Bm F# Bm
And living land was left behind.
Bm F#
“Light down, light down now, True Thomas
Bm F#
And lean your head upon my knee,
Bm F#
Abide and rest a little space
Bm F# Bm
And I will show you ferlies three.
Bm F#
“O see ye not yon narrow road
Bm F#
So thick beset with thorns and briars?
Bm F#
That is the path of righteousness,
Bm F# Bm
Tho' after it but few enquires.
Bm F#
“And see ye not that braid, braid road
Bm F#
That lies across that lily leven?
Bm F#
That is the path of wickedness,
Bm F# Bm
Tho' some ca' it the road to heaven.
Bm F#
“And see ye not that bonny road
Bm F#
That winds about the fernie brae?
Bm F#
That is the road to fair Elfland
Bm F# Bm
Where thou and I this night maun gae.
Bm F#
“But, Thomas, ye maun hold your tongue
Bm F#
Whatever ye may hear or see.
Bm F#
For if you speak word in Elfyn land
Bm F# Bm
Ye'll ne'er get back to your ain countrie.”
Bm F#
Syne they came on to a garden green,
Bm F#
And she pu'd an apple frae a tree:
Bm F#
“Take this for thy wages, True Thomas
Bm F# Bm
It will gi' ye the tongue that can never lie.”
Bm F#
“My tongue is mine ain,” True Thomas said,
Bm F#
“B guidly gift ye wad gie to me!
Bm F#
I neither dought to buy or sell,
Bm F# Bm
At fair or tryst where I may be.
Bm F#
“I dought neither speak to prince or peer
Bm F#
Nor ask of grace from fair ladye.”
Bm F#
“Now hold thy peace,”, the lady said,
Bm F# Bm
“For as I say, so must it be.”
Bm F#
He has gotten a coat of the even cloth
Bm F#
And a pair of shune of velvet green,
Bm F#
And till seven years were gane and past
Bm F# Bm
True Thomas on earth was never seen.
