The Earl of Rosslyn's daughter
Walked through the woods alone
When by came Captain Wedderburn
A servant of the king
He said unto his servant man
'Were it not against the law
I'd take her into my own bed
And lie her next to the wall'
So he jumped off his milk-white steed
And he set the lady on
And all the way he walked on foot
And he held her by the hand
He held her by the middle of the waist
For fear that she would fall
Before she'd lie in his bed
And she'd lie next to the wall
'But' said the pretty lady
'Before you do gain me
It's you must make me dishes yet
And that is dishes three
It's dishes three you must make me
Or I'll not eat at all
Before I'll lie in your bed
At either stock or wall'
'Oh you must make for supper
A cherry without a stone
And you must make for supper
A chicken without a bone
And you must make for supper
A bird without a call
Before I'll lie in your bed
At either stock or wall'
'Oh the cherry when it is in bloom
I'm sure it has no stone
The chicken when it's in the egg
I'm sure it has no bone
The dove she is a gentle bird
And she flies without a call
So we'll both lie in one bed
And you'll lie next to the wall'
'But' said the pretty lady
'Before you me perplex
It's you must answer questions yet
And that is question six
It's question six you must tell me
And that is three times twa
Before I'll lie in your bed
At either stock or wall'
'Oh what is greener than the grass?
What is higher than the trees?
Oh what is worse than a woman's voice?
What is deeper than the seas?
What was the first bird that did crow?
And what did first down fall?
Before I'll lie in your bed
At either stock or wall'
'Oh envy's greener than the grass
And it's higher than the trees
The Devil is worse than a woman's voice
Hell is deeper than the seas
The cock was the first bird that did crow
And the dew did first down fall
So we'll both lie in one bed
And you'll lie next to the wall'
Oh little did that lady think
That morning when she rose
That this would be the very last
Of all her maiden days
And in the cottage where they live
They're the happiest pair of all
And they both lie in one bed
And she lies next to the wall
Walked through the woods alone
When by came Captain Wedderburn
A servant of the king
He said unto his servant man
'Were it not against the law
I'd take her into my own bed
And lie her next to the wall'

And he held her by the hand
He held her by the middle of the waist
For fear that she would fall
Before she'd lie in his bed
And she'd lie next to the wall
