Oh, father, oh father, come riddle to me
Come riddle it all as one
And tell me whether to marry Fair Ellen
Or bring the brown girl home?
The brown girl she has house and land
Fair Ellender she has none
So therefore I charge you with my blessing
Go bring the brown girl home'
He got on his horse and he rode and he rode
He rode 'til he came to her hall
And no one so ready as Fair Ellеn herself
To rise and wеlcome him in
What news have you brought unto me, Lord Thomas?
What news have you brought unto me?
I've come to ask you to my wedding
A sorrowful wedding to be'
Oh mother, dear mother, should I go, should I stay?'
Fair child, do as you please
But I'm afraid if you go you'll never return
To see your mother any more
She turned around all dressed in white
Her sisters dressed in green
And every town that they rode through
They took her to be some queen
Come riddle it all as one
And tell me whether to marry Fair Ellen
Or bring the brown girl home?
The brown girl she has house and land
Fair Ellender she has none
So therefore I charge you with my blessing
Go bring the brown girl home'
He got on his horse and he rode and he rode
He rode 'til he came to her hall
And no one so ready as Fair Ellеn herself
To rise and wеlcome him in
What news have you brought unto me, Lord Thomas?
What news have you brought unto me?
I've come to ask you to my wedding
A sorrowful wedding to be'
Oh mother, dear mother, should I go, should I stay?'
Fair child, do as you please
But I'm afraid if you go you'll never return
To see your mother any more
She turned around all dressed in white
Her sisters dressed in green
And every town that they rode through
They took her to be some queen
