Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

Eastmure king, and Westmuir king,
And king o Luve, a' three,
It' they kevils them amang,
Aboot gay ladie.

2

Eastmuir king he the ,
An Wastmuir king the ,
But king o Luve, wi his lands sae broad,
He' won fair ladie.

3

Thae kings, they aith,
That, be as may,
They slay king o Luve,
Upon his waddin .

4

Eastmuir king he brak his ,
An penance he;
But Wastmuir king he oot,
An ill he !

1	Eastmure king, and Westmuir king, And king o Luve, a' three, It's they coost kevils them amang, Aboot a gay ladie.
2	Eastmuir king he wan the gowd, An Wastmuir king the fee, But king o Luve, wi his lands sae broad, He's won the fair ladie.
3	Thae twa kings, they made an aith, That, be it as it may, They wad slay him king o Luve, Upon his waddin day.
4	Eastmuir king he brak his aith, An sair penance did he; But Wastmuir king he made it oot, An an ill deid mat he dee!
