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