The False Knight Upon the Road (4) 
The knight met a child on the road.. 
O where are you going to? Said the knight on the road 
I'm a-going to my school, Said the Child as he stood. He stood and he stood, And it's well because he stood 
I'm a-going to my school Said the child as he stood. 
O what are you going there for? For to learn the word of God. 
O what have you got there? I have got my bread and cheese. 
O won't you give me some? No, ne'er a bit nor crumb. 
I wish you was on the sands. Yes, and a good staff in my hands. 
I wish you was on the sea Yes, and a good boat under me. 
I think I hear a bell. Yes, and it's ringing you to hell. 
Child #3 From Sharp and Karpeles, 1932. Collected from Mrs. T.G. Coates, TN 1916
