Child Ballads - Lyrics

Child 110
The Knight and the Shepherd's Daughter
Version P

Narrative

1   'Tis said a shepherd's ae daughter
Kept sheep upon a hill,
An by there cam a courteous knight,
An he wad hae his will.
2   He's taen her by the milk-white hand
An by the grass-green sleeve,
He's laid her doon at the fit o a bush,
An neer ance speired her leave.
