CHILD
I you all you ladies fair that do wear red and brown
you don't leave your 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 leave my father's house to run a boy from town
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 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 very first step that lady took, it up to her knee
"Oh alas, alas," that said, "I fear you're drowning me"
"Lie still, lie still, my baby dear, don't your mother woe
father's 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 turned around his big white horse and her on behind
"Oh do you see yon high castle, that shines so white and
There is a lady in castle, that will part you and me
"She will eat the good bread, you will eat but corn
And you will sit and curse the ever you was born"
"If there's a lady in castle that will part you and I
The day I see her," Ellen said, "That day I die"
Four and twenty ladies gay welcomed the young man
But the fairest one them all in the great hall stood alone
And then upspoke his old mother, and a woman was she
"Where did you come in with that footboy, that looks so sad at

"Sometimes his cheek is rosy red, 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 thee
That's but a lord's own younger son, who for love followed me
"Rise up, rise up, my little footboy, go feed my his hay"
"Oh that I will, my dear, fast as ever I may"
She took the hay in her soft white hands, she ran out the hall
She ran into the great stable and into the stall
And there she did to weep, she did begin to mourn
For even among those great horse feet, she had to her son
"Lie still, lie still, my baby dear, thou pledge of careless
I would thy father was a king, thy in her grave"
"Rise up, rise up, my son, go see how she do fare
For I heard a woman and her baby calling for 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 his little young son and gave to him sweet milk
And up he took fair Ellen then and her in green silk
