O it's of a knight on a summer's night
Was riding o'er the lee, diddle
There he spied a bonny bird
Sitting upon a tree. Singing:
"Wow for the day!
An gin it for the day!
Oh gin it were day
And gin I were away!
I ha na lang time to stay." diddle
"O make hast, make hast, ye gentle knight
What keeps you here so late? diddle
Gin ye kent what's doing at hame
I fear ye would look blate" diddle
"O why should I toil day and night
My fair body to kill
For ninety knights at my command
An ladys at my will?"
"O ye lee ye lee ye gentle knight
So loud I hear you lee: diddle
There's a knight in your lady's arms
And she lees better than thee." diddle
