ON Atrick-side in Yarrow, a place pleasant and fair, I thought on bonny Helen, as I was walking there. As I was walking there, she came into my Mind, I thought my bonny Helen fairest of Woman kind. I said then, bonny Helen if I were now with you, For to kiss you and clap you, as I was wont to do. But I'm now in the Forrest where I never was before But yet my bonny Helen I love and shall adore. In the Haughs upon Yarrow, in the Forrest so fair, There are many bonny Lasses Milking the Ewes there, Milking the Ewes there, where now I do repair: But yet my bonny Helen shall be my only Dear. O Helen I'm far from you, but yet I will prove kind. Thorow hills and thorow valleys you're still into my mind; You shall still be in my Mind, and to you I'll prove true, And to all other Lovers I freely bid adieu.
FINIS.
