sweet william rode up to the old man's gate[00:00:28]

and boldly he did say[00:00:35]

"oh the youngest daughter she my stay at home,[00:00:40]

but the oldest i'll take away"[00:00:44]

"come in,come in all seven of my sons[00:00:53]

and guard your sister round[00:01:00]

for it never shall be said the steward's son[00:01:05]

has taken my daughter out of town"[00:01:08]

"i thank you sir,and it's very kind[00:01:21]

but i'm none of the steward's son[00:01:27]

my father was a reginer's king[00:01:32]

my mother's a quaker's queen"[00:01:35]

so he got on his snow-white steed[00:01:47]

and she on the dapple gray[00:01:53]

he swung his bugle horn around his neck[00:01:58]

and they went riding away[00:02:02]

they hadn't gone more than a mile out of town[00:02:14]

'til she looked back again[00:02:20]

and she saw her father and all seven of her brothers[00:02:25]

come tripling over the plain[00:02:29]

"light down'light down"sweet william said he[00:02:38]

and hold my steed by the reigns[00:02:45]

"i'll fight your father and all seven of your brothers[00:02:49]

come tripling over the plain"[00:02:53]

"slack your hand,slack your hand!"sweet william said she[00:03:05]

"your wounds are very sore[00:03:11]

the blood runs free from every vein[00:03:16]

oh father i can have no more"[00:03:20]

so he got on his snow-white steed[00:03:30]

and she on the dapple gray[00:03:36]

he swung his bugle horn around his neck[00:03:41]

and they went bleeding away[00:03:45]

they rode all night to his mother's gate[00:03:58]

and tingling on the ring[00:04:04]

"oh mother,mother asleep or awake[00:04:09]

arise and let me in"[00:04:13]

"bind my head,bind my head!"sweet william said he[00:04:22]

my wounds are very sore[00:04:29]

the blood runs free from every vein[00:04:33]

for me you will bind no more"[00:04:38]

about two hours,before it was day[00:04:49]

as the foweles began to crow[00:04:56]

sweet william died from the wounds he received[00:05:01]

fair ellen died from sorrow[00:05:04]
