Downie Dens Of Yarrow Liam Clancy

[Verse 1]
There was a lady in the north
I ne're could find her marrow
She was courted by nine gentlemen
And a poor plowboy frae Yarrow

[Verse 2]
These nine sat drinkin at the wine
Sat drinkin wine in Yarrow
An they made a plot amang themselves
Tae fecht for her on Yarrow

[Verse 3]
He says, "There's nine o' you and but one o' me
It's an unequal marrow"
But I'll fecht ye all one by one
On the Dowie Dens o' Yarrow

[Verse 4]
She's combed his hair, she's washed his face
As she had done before o
She's dressed him like a brave young knight
To fight fae her in Yarrow

[Verse 5]
As he went up yon high, high hill
And doon with the homes of Yarrow
It was there he saw nine armed men
Come tae fight fae her in Yarrow
