w:True Thom-as lay o-er yond _grass-y bank and _he be-held a -la--dy _gay,
w:Her skirt was of the _grass _green _silk, Her _man-tle of the _vel--vet _fine,
w:True Thom-as he took _ of-f h-is hat and _bowed him lo-o-ow to-o his _ knee,
w:Oh, no! oh no! True _ Thom-as she _ says that _ name doth not be--long _to _me,
w:But`ye maun _ go with _ me _ now Thom-as, True _ Thom-as, ye maun _ go _with _me,
w:She turned a-round her _ milk _ white _ steed, and _ took True Thom-as _ up _ be--hind,
w: For for-ty days and`for _ for--ty _ nights, he _ wade thro red blood _ to _the _ knee,
w:They rode _ on and _ fur - thur  _ on, un - til they came to`a _ gar _ den _ green
w:Oh no, oh no! True _ Thom - as`she _ says, That _ fruit maun not be _ touched _ by _ thee,
w:But I have a loaf`here _ in _ my _ lap, like--wise a bot-tle`of _ clar--et _  wine,
w:When he had eat-en`and _ drunk _ his _ fill, Lay _ down your head u -pon _ my _  knee,
w:Oh, see not ye yon _ broad _ broad _ road that _ lays a-bout yon _ li - ly _ leaven,
w: And see not ye yon _ nar - row _ road so _ thick be-set with _ thorns _ and _ briars,
w: And see not ye yon _ bon - ny _ road that _ winds a-bout the _ fer - ny _ brae,
w: But True Thom-as ye`maun _ hold _ your _ tongue, what - e-ver ye should _ hear _ or _ see,
w:He's`got-ten a cloak of the vel - vet _ cloth, and`a _ pair`of _ shoes of`the _ el - ven _ green,

w: A la-dy that was _brisk _and _bold, Come ri-ding oer the fer--nie _brae.
w: From ev-ery lock of her hor--se's _mane _hung _fif-ty sil-ver bells and nine.
w: All hail ye al-migh-ty queen of hea--ven for your ~ peer on Earth I n'er did see.
w: for`I am but queen of _ fa-ir elf _ land and I've  come here _for to vi-sit thee.
w: for your must serve me _ se-ven long _ years _  thro' weel or was as may chance to be.
w:and aye when-ere her _ brid--le _ rang, the steed _ flew _ swift-er than the wind.
w:and he saw nei-ther _ sun _ nor _ moon _ but _ heard the roar-ing of the sea.
w:Light down! Light down, ye _ fair _ La - dy, _ some of that fruit let me pull to thee!
w:for all the plagues that _ are _ in _ Hell, _ light`on _ the fruit of this coun--trie!
w: And now ere we ride _ fur--thur _ on, _ we'll _ rest a while and ye may dine.
w: The la-dy said ere`we _ climb _ yon _ hill _ I'll _ show you fa-ir-lies _ three.
w: That is the path of _ wi - cked - ness _ though _ some call it the road to heaven
w: That is the path of _ right - eous - ness _ though _ af-ter it but few en-quires,
w: That is the path to _ fair _ Elf - land _ where _ you and I this night maun gae.
w: For gin one word you`should _ chance _ to _ speak _ you'll'ne'er _ get back to your ain coun-trie!
w: and `til se-ven years`were _ past _ and _ gone _ True`Thom - as on Earth was n'er _ seen.
