THE ELFIN KNIGHT—L
1
My father gave me an acre of land,Sing ivy, sing ivy
My father gave me an acre of land.
Sing green bush, holly and ivy
2
I ploughd it with a ram's horn.3
I harrowd it with a bramble.4
I sowd it with a pepper corn.5
I reapd it with my penknife.6
I carried it to the mill upon the cat's back.7
I made a cake for all the king's men. The English and Scottish Popular Ballads | ||
