Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

Bonny feather beds
Cam sailin the ,
But bonnier the sexteen lords
Gaed and cam .

2

Lang, lang the sit,
Wi bonny babe her knee,
Ere ever she her lord ,
To to her .

3

An , lang the lady sit,
Wi gowd in hand,
Ere ever she her ain lord
Come skipping dry .

1	Bonny were the feather beds Cam sailin ower the faem, But bonnier was the sexteen lords Gaed out and neer cam hame.
2	Lang, lang may the nourice sit, Wi the bonny babe on her knee, Ere ever she see her good lord come, To pay to her her fee.
3	An lang, lang will the lady sit, Wi the gowd fan in her hand, Ere ever she see her ain gude lord Come skipping to dry land.
