CHILD
I warn you all you ladies fair do wear red and brown
That you don't leave your father's house to run with a boy town
For here am I, a lady fair, I did wear red and
And I did leave my father's house to run with a boy from
He's mounted on his big horse and fast away rode he
She dressed like a little footboy, she ran at the horse's knee
And they came to the river's edge that was so deep and wide
"Oh, will you swim," her lover said, "Or on the horse's side?"
The first step that lady took, it reached up to her knee
"Oh alas, alas," that lady said, "I 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, she's on a stone
He's around his big white horse and took her on behind
"Oh do you see yon high castle, shines so white and free?
There is a lady in castle, that will part you and me
"She eat the good white bread, you will eat but corn
And you will sit and curse the ever you was born"
"If there's a lady in that castle that will you and I
The day I see her," Ellen said, "That day I die"
and twenty ladies gay welcomed the young man home
But the fairest one among all in the great hall stood alone
And upspoke his old mother, and a wise woman was she
"Where did you come in with little footboy, that looks so sad at

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