[Verse 1]
My love, he built me a bonny bower
And clad it o'er with lily flower
A finer bower you ne'er did see
Than my true love he built for me
[Verse 2]
There came a man by middle day
He spied his sport and went away
And brought the King that very night
Who broke my bower and slew my knight
[Verse 3]
He slew my knight to me so dear
He slew my knight and poin'd his gear
My servants all for life did flee
And left me in extremity
[Verse 4]
I sewed his sheet, making my moan
I watched the corpse, myself alone
I watched the body night and day
Well, no living creature came that way
[Verse 5]
I took his body on my back
And whiles I went and whiles I sat
I digged a grave and I laid him in
And happed him with the sod so green
My love, he built me a bonny bower
And clad it o'er with lily flower
A finer bower you ne'er did see
Than my true love he built for me
[Verse 2]
There came a man by middle day
He spied his sport and went away
And brought the King that very night
Who broke my bower and slew my knight
[Verse 3]
He slew my knight to me so dear
He slew my knight and poin'd his gear
My servants all for life did flee
And left me in extremity
[Verse 4]
I sewed his sheet, making my moan
I watched the corpse, myself alone
I watched the body night and day
Well, no living creature came that way
[Verse 5]
I took his body on my back
And whiles I went and whiles I sat
I digged a grave and I laid him in
And happed him with the sod so green
