THE CRUEL BROTHER. |

|
The eldest was baith tall and fair, *
With a heigh-ho ! and a lily gay ; But the youngest was beyond compare,
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
The midmost had a gracefu' mien,
With a heigh-ho I and a lily gay ; i"
But the youngest look'd like beauty's queen, As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
The knight bow'd low to a' the three,
With a heigh-ho ! and a lily gay ; But to Jhe youngest he bent his knee, is
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
The lady turned her head aside,
With a heigh-ho ! and a lily gay ; The knight he woo'd her to be his bride.
As the primrose spreads so sweetly. 20
The lady blush'd a rosy red,
With a heigh-ho ! and a lily gay ; And said, " Sir knight, I'm o'er young to wed," -
As the primrose spreads so sweetly.
" 0 lady fair, give me your hand, 25
With a heigh-ho ! and a lily gay ; And I'll mak you ladie of a' my land,"
As the primrose spreads so sweetly. |
