SIR PATRICK SPENS—O
1
Bonny were the feather bedsCam sailin ower the faem,
But bonnier was the sixteen lords
Gaed out and neer cam hame.
2
Lang, lang may the nourice sit,Wi the bonny babe on her knee,
Ere ever she see her good lord come,
To pay to her her fee.
3
An lang, lang will the lady sit,Wi the gowd fan in her hand,
Ere ever she see her ain gude lord
Come skipping to dry land.
