The Elfin Knight

There stands three trumpeters on yon hill
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 Blaw their trumpets sae loud and shrill
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 
 Gin I'd his trumpet in my kist
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 And were in the lad's arms that I like best
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 Gin ye would be wed wi' me
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 There's ae thing ye maun dae for me
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 I maun hae a fine linen sark
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 Without a stitch o' needlewark
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 Ye maun wash it in yon draw-well
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 Where water never sprang nor fell
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 Ye maun drt't on yon hawthorn
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 That hasna seen blossom since man was born
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 ♪
 Gin I mak'a sark for thee
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 There's ae thing ye maun tae me dae
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 My faither has an acre o' land
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 Ye maun ploo it wi' your ae hand
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 Ye maun sow it wantin' corn
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 And roll it wi' a sheep's shank-bone
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 Ye maun shear it wi' a scythe o' leather
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 And bind it wi' a peacock's feather
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 ♪
 Ye maun stook it in the sea
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 And bring the whaetsheaf dry tae me
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
 ♪
 And gin you wark noo all this wark
 Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 Come to me and you'll get your sark
 And the wind blaws aye my plaid awa'
