Willie stands in his stable door
And he's combing his coal black steed
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
And his heart began to bleed
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
Help me tie them on
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
Before the night comes on"
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
Tonight there comes a storm
I'll lay the table handsomely
Your bed be soft and warm"
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
They cannot bring me rest
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
Before the night has passed"
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
My curse will go with thee
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
Drowned you shall be"
"The good steed that I ride upon
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
To take me safe and sound"
And he's combing his coal black steed
And he's thinking of fair Margaret's love
And his heart began to bleed
"Mother, fetch my hat and coat
Help me tie them on
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
Before the night comes on"
"Stay at home with me, dear Willie
Tonight there comes a storm
I'll lay the table handsomely
Your bed be soft and warm"
"Your tables, mother, and your beds
They cannot bring me rest
I'll away to fair Margaret's bower
Before the night has passed"
"If you go to fair Margaret's bower
My curse will go with thee
And the deepest part of the Clyde Water
Drowned you shall be"
"The good steed that I ride upon
Cost me thrice thirty pounds
I'll put my trust in his swift feet
To take me safe and sound"
