The Outlandish Knight - A. L. Lloyd[00:00:00]

An outlandish knight from the north lands came[00:00:05]

And he came wooing of me[00:00:13]

And he told me he'd take me to that northern land[00:00:19]

And there he would marry me[00:00:26]

Well she mounted on her lily-white horse[00:00:34]

And he upon the grey[00:00:40]

And away they did ride to the fair river side[00:00:44]

Three hours before it was day[00:00:51]

He says unlight unlight my little polly[00:00:56]

Unlight unlight cries he[00:01:02]

For six pretty maids i've drowned here before[00:01:06]

And the seventh thou art to be[00:01:11]

She said go get a sickle to crop the thistle[00:01:17]

That grows beside the brim[00:01:23]

That it may not mingle with my curly locks[00:01:27]

Nor harm my lily-white skin[00:01:33]

So he got a sickle to crop the thistle[00:01:38]

That grew beside the brim[00:01:45]

And she catched him around the middle so small[00:01:49]

And tumbled him into the stream[00:01:55]

Then she mounted on her lily-white horse[00:02:00]

And she did ride away[00:02:06]

And she arrived at her father's door[00:02:10]

Three hours before it was day[00:02:16]

Now the parrot being in the window so high[00:02:22]

A-hearing the lady he did say[00:02:29]

I'm afraid that some ruffian have led you astray[00:02:34]

That you've tarried so long away[00:02:41]

Don't prittle don't prattle my pretty polly[00:02:47]

Nor tell no tales of me[00:02:53]

And your cage shall be of the glittering gold[00:02:59]

And your perch of the best ivory[00:03:06]

Now the master being in the bedroom so high[00:03:13]

A-hearing that parrot he did say[00:03:19]

What's the matter with you my pretty polly[00:03:24]

You're prattling so long before day[00:03:31]

There came an old cat on the top of my cage[00:03:37]

To take my sweet life away[00:03:43]

I was just calling on my young mistress[00:03:48]

To drive that old puss away[00:03:55]
