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