CHILD
I warn you all you fair that do wear red and brown
That you don't your father's house to run with a boy from town
For here am I, a fair, I did wear red and brown
And I did leave my father's house to run with a boy town
mounted on his big white horse and fast away rode he
She dressed herself like a little footboy, she ran at the horse's
And when they came to the edge that was so deep and wide
"Oh, will you swim," her said, "Or hang on the horse's side?"
The very first step lady took, it reached up to her knee
"Oh alas, alas," that lady said, "I fear drowning me"
"Lie still, lie still, my baby dear, don't work your 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 horse and took her on behind
"Oh do you see yon castle, that shines so white and free?
There is a lady in castle, that will part you and me
"She will eat the white bread, you will eat but corn
And you sit and curse 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 twenty gay welcomed the young man home
But the one among them all in the great hall stood alone
And then upspoke his old mother, and a woman was she
"Where did you in with that little footboy, that looks so sad at

"Sometimes his cheek is rosy red, its pale and wan
He looks like a woman deep in or caught 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 little footboy, go feed my 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 the hall
She ran the great stable and into the horse's stall
And she did begin to weep, she did begin to mourn
For among those great horse feet, she had to bear her son
"Lie still, lie still, my dear, thou pledge 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 heard a woman and her baby for your care"
Up he and down he goes, into the barn he went
"Fear not, not, fair 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 then and dressed her in green silk
