The Elphin Knight sits on yon hill,
Ba, ba, ba, lilli ba, He blowes his horn both lond and shril,
The wind hath blown my plaid awa.
He blowes it East, he blowes it West,
Ba, ba, &c. He blowes it where he lyketh best.
The wind, &c.
" I wish that horn were in my kistj
Ba, ba, &c. Yea, and the knight in my armes two."
The wind, &c. |
