CHILD
I warn you all you ladies fair that do red and brown
That you don't leave father's house to run with a boy from town
For here am I, a lady fair, I did red and brown
And I did my father's house to run with a boy from town
He's on his big white horse and fast away rode he
She dressed herself like a footboy, she ran at the horse's knee
And when they to the river's edge that was so deep and wide
"Oh, will you swim," her lover said, "Or hang on the side?"
The very first step that took, it reached up to her knee
"Oh alas, alas," that said, "I fear you're drowning me"
"Lie still, lie still, my baby dear, don't work mother woe
Your high on high horseback, he cares not for us two"
But when she's come to the other side, mounted on a stone
He's turned around his big white horse and her on behind
"Oh do you see yon high castle, that so white and free?
There is a lady in that castle, will part you and me
"She eat the good white bread, you will eat but corn
And you will sit and curse the hour you was born"
"If there's a lady in that castle will part you and I
The day I see her," Ellen said, "That day I die"
Four and twenty ladies gay welcomed the man home
But the fairest one among them all in the great stood alone
And then upspoke his old mother, and a wise was she
"Where did you come in with that little footboy, looks so sad at

"Sometimes his is rosy red, sometime's its pale and wan
He looks like a woman deep in love or caught in sin"
"It makes me smile, my mother dear, to hear those words from
That's but a lord's own son, who for love hath followed me
"Rise up, rise up, my little footboy, go my horse his hay"
"Oh that I will, my master dear, as ever I may"
She took the hay in her soft white hands, she ran out from the
She ran into the great stable and into the stall
And there she did begin to weep, she did begin to
For among those great horse feet, she had to bear her son
"Lie still, lie still, my baby dear, thou pledge of love
I would thy was a king, thy mother in her grave"
"Rise up, rise up, my darling son, go see how she do
For I heard a and her baby calling for your care"
Up he rose and down he goes, into the he went
"Fear not, fear not, Ellen," he said, "There's no one here but me
Up he took his young son and gave to him sweet milk
And up he took fair Ellen then and her in green silk
