Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

Johnie' up England ,
Three quarters a year;
Johnie' up England ,
The king's banner bear.

2

He hadna been in England
A month only three,
The king he but dochter,
And fell love he.

3

And is up, and is ,
And is the ,
And is the king's court ,
Amang nobles .

4

Now is the king himsell,
On throne where did sit,
That his ae dochter goes wi child
To John that little Scot.

1	Johnie's up to England gone, Three quarters of a year; Johnie's up to England gone, The king's banner to bear.
2	He hadna been in fair England A month but only three, The king he had but one dochter, And she fell in love with he.
3	And word is up, and word is down, And word is to the ha, And word is to the king's court gane, Amang the nobles a'.
4	Now word is to the king himsell, On throne where he did sit, That his ae dochter goes wi child To John that little Scot.
