Child Ballads - Lyrics

* * * *

1

But plait wand bonny ,
And it my ,
And a tear upon my grave,
And my saul rest.

2

'And Margret, and rare Margret,
And Margret veritie,
Gin ye another ,
Neer him ye me.'

3

Then up and crew milk-white cock,
And up and crew grey;
The lover vanishd the ,
And gaed weeping away.

1	But plait a wand o bonny birk, And lay it on my breast, And shed a tear upon my grave, And wish my saul gude rest.
2	'And fair Margret, and rare Margret, And Margret o veritie, Gin eer ye love another man, Neer love him as ye did me.'
3	Then up and crew the milk-white cock, And up and crew the grey; The lover vanishd in the air, And she gaed weeping away.
