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

"Sometimes his cheek is red, sometime's its pale and wan
He looks like a woman deep in love or in deadly sin"
"It makes me smile, my dear, to hear those words from thee
That's but a lord's own younger son, who for hath followed me
"Rise up, rise up, my little footboy, go my horse his hay"
"Oh that I will, my dear, fast as ever I may"
She took the hay in her soft hands, she ran out from the hall
She ran into the great stable and the horse's 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 of careless love
I would thy father was a king, thy in her grave"
"Rise up, up, my darling son, go see how she do fare
For I a woman and her baby calling for your care"
Up he rose and down he goes, the barn he went
"Fear not, fear not, Ellen," he said, "There's no one here but me
Up he took his little young son and gave to him milk
And up he fair Ellen then and dressed her in green silk
