Child Ballads - Lyrics

1

She looked at father' window,
To a view the countrie;
Who she but Jamie Douglas,
And along with children three!

2

There came a soldier the ,
And did right hastilie:
'If Lady Douglas within,
Bid come and speak me.'

3

'O away, my lady ,
Come away now me,
For have hanged Blackwood,
At very where told lie.'

1	She looked out at her father's window, To take a view of the countrie; Who did she see but Jamie Douglas, And along with him her children three!
2	There came a soldier to the gate, And he did knock right hastilie: 'If Lady Douglas be within, Bid her come down and speak to me.'
3	'O come away, my lady fair, Come away now alang with me, For I have hanged fause Blackwood, At the very place where he told the lie.'
