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