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