1	True Thomas sat on Huntley Bank						True Thomas sat on Huntley bank,	1
2	And he beheld a lady gay						And he beheld a lady gay;	2
3	A lady that was brisk and bold						A lady that was brisk and bold,	3
4	Come riding o'er the ferny brae						Come riding o'er the ferny brae.	4
5							Her skirt was of the grass green silk,	5
6	Her skirt was of the grass green silk						Her mantle      of the velvet fine;	6
7	Her mantle       of the velvet fine						At every lock of her horse's mane,	7
8	At every lock of her horse's mane						Hung fifty silver bells and nine.	8
9	Hung fifty silver bells and nine						True Thomas, he pulled off his cap,	9
10							And bowed him low down to his knee'	10
11	True Thomas, he pulled off his cap						"All hail, thou mighty Queen of Heaven	11
12	And bowed him low down to his knee						Your like on earth I ne'er did see."	12
13	All hail, thou mighty Queen of Heaven						"No, no Thomas," she said,	13
14	Your like on earth I ne'er did see						"That name does not belong to me,	14
15							I am the queen of fair Elfland,	15
16	No, no Thomas, she said						And I have come to visit thee."	16
17	That name does not belong to me						"You must go with me Thomas," she said,	17
18	I am the queen of fair Elf land						True Thomas you must go with me;	18
19	And I have come to visit thee						And must serve me seven years,	19
20							Through well or woe, as chance may be."	20
21	You must go with me Thomas, she said						Chorus:	21
22	True Thomas you must go with me						Hark and carp, come along with me,	22
23	And must serve me seven years						Thomas the Rhymer;	23
24	Through well or woe as chance may be						Hark and carp, come along with me,	24
25							Thomas the Rhymer;	25
26	Hark and carp, come along with me						Hark and carp, come along with me,	26
27	Thomas the rhymer						Thomas the Rhymer;	27
28	Hark and carp, come along with me						Hark and carp, come along with me,	28
29	Thomas the rhymer						Thomas the Rhymer.	29
30							She turned about her milk white steed,	30
31	Hark and carp, come along with me						And took Thomas up behind;	31
32	Thomas the rhymer						And aye whenever her bridle rang,	32
33	Hark and carp, come along with me						Her steed flew swifter than the wind.	33
34	Thomas the rhymer						For forty days and forty nights,	34
35							They rode through red blood to the knee;	35
36	She turned about her milk white steed						And they saw neither sun nor moon,	36
37	And took Thomas up behind						But heard the roaring of the sea.	37
38	And aye, whenever her bridle rang						And they rode on and further on,	38
39	Her steed flew swifter than the wind						Further and       swifter than the wind;	39
40							Until they came to a desert wide,	40
41	For forty days and forty nights						And living land was left behind.	41
42	They rode through red blood to the knee						"Don't you see yon narrow, narrow road,	42
43	And they saw neither sun nor moon						So thick beset with thorns and briars?	43
44	But heard the roaring of the sea						That is the road to righteousness,	44
45							Though after it but few enquire."	45
46	And they rode on and further on						"Don't you see yon broad, broad road,	46
47	Further and swifter than the wind						Lying lies across       the lily leaven?	47
48	Until they came       to a desert wide						That is the road to wickedness,	48
49	And living land was left behind						Though some call it the road to heaven."	49
50							"Don't you see yon bonnie, bonnie road,	50
51	Don't you see yon narrow, narrow road						Lying across the ferny brae?	51
52	So thick beset with thorns and briar's?						That is the road to fair Elfland,	52
53	That is the road to righteousness						Where you and I this night must go."	53
54	Though after it but few enquire						Chorus:	54
