《The Outlandish Knight》歌词

[00:00:00] The Outlandish Knight - A. L. Lloyd

[00:00:05] An outlandish knight from the north lands came

[00:00:13] And he came wooing of me

[00:00:19] And he told me he'd take me to that northern land

[00:00:26] And there he would marry me

[00:00:34] Well she mounted on her lily-white horse

[00:00:40] And he upon the grey

[00:00:44] And away they did ride to the fair river side

[00:00:51] Three hours before it was day

[00:00:56] He says unlight unlight my little polly

[00:01:02] Unlight unlight cries he

[00:01:06] For six pretty maids i've drowned here before

[00:01:11] And the seventh thou art to be

[00:01:17] She said go get a sickle to crop the thistle

[00:01:23] That grows beside the brim

[00:01:27] That it may not mingle with my curly locks

[00:01:33] Nor harm my lily-white skin

[00:01:38] So he got a sickle to crop the thistle

[00:01:45] That grew beside the brim

[00:01:49] And she catched him around the middle so small

[00:01:55] And tumbled him into the stream

[00:02:00] Then she mounted on her lily-white horse

[00:02:06] And she did ride away

[00:02:10] And she arrived at her father's door

[00:02:16] Three hours before it was day

[00:02:22] Now the parrot being in the window so high

[00:02:29] A-hearing the lady he did say

[00:02:34] I'm afraid that some ruffian have led you astray

[00:02:41] That you've tarried so long away

[00:02:47] Don't prittle don't prattle my pretty polly

[00:02:53] Nor tell no tales of me

[00:02:59] And your cage shall be of the glittering gold

[00:03:06] And your perch of the best ivory

[00:03:13] Now the master being in the bedroom so high

[00:03:19] A-hearing that parrot he did say

[00:03:24] What's the matter with you my pretty polly

[00:03:31] You're prattling so long before day

[00:03:37] There came an old cat on the top of my cage

[00:03:43] To take my sweet life away

[00:03:48] I was just calling on my young mistress

[00:03:55] To drive that old puss away
