GO fetch me some of your fathers gold, And some of your mothers fee, And Ill carry you into the North land, And there Ill marry thee She fetchd him some of her fathers gold, And some of her mothers fee, She carried him into the stable, Where horses stood thirty and three. She leapd on a milk-white steed, And he on a dapple grey; They rode til they came to a fair rivers Side, Three hours before it was day. O light, O light you lady gay, O light with speed I say; For six Knights daughters have I drowned here, And you the seventh must be. Go fetch the sickle to crop the nettle That grows so near the brim; For fear it should tangle my golden locks, Or freckle my milk-white skin, He fetchd the sickle to crop the nettle That grew so near the brim; And with all the strength that pretty Polly had She pushed the False Knight in. Swim on, swim on, thou false Knight, And there bewail thy doom; For I dont think thy cloathing too good To lie in a wattry tomb. She leaped on her milk-white steed, She led the dapple grey; She rid till she came to her fathers house, Three hours before it was day. Who knocked so loudly at the ring? The Parrot he did say; O where have you been my pretty Polly, All this long summers day? O hold your tongue parrot Tell you no tales of me; Your cage shall be made of beaten gold, Which is now made of a tree. O then bespoke her father dear, As he on his bed did lay; O what is the matter my parrot? That you speak before it is day. That cats at my cage, master, And sorely frighted me; And I calld down my Polly To take the cat away.
