Lyrics
"Oh Hindhorn Fair and Hindhorn Free
Where were you born, in what country?"
"In the good green wood there I was born
And my family before me
For seven long years I served the king
And as for wages, I never got none
But only the sight of his daughter"
"The bark and the broom blooms bonnie
And that was through an auger bore
In the morning bright and early"
"My love gave me a silver wand
For to rule o'er all the land
And she gave me a gay gold ring
With virtue above all other
As long as this ring keeps its hue
You know I am your lover true
But if the ring grows pale and wan"
"The bark and the broom blooms bonnie
You know I love another man
In the morning bright and early"
"So he hoisted his sails and away sailed he
Sailed on to a far country
But when he looked the ring upon
He knew that she loved another
So he's hoisted his sails and home came he
Home unto his own country
And the first man that he looked upon"
"The bark and the broom blooms bonnie
It chanced to be a beggar man
In the morning bright and early"
"What news, what news, my good old man
What news, what news have you to me?"
"Sad news, sad news," said the beggar man
"Today is our queen's wedding
Oh, you lend me your begging weed
And I'll lend you my riding steed"
"My begging weed? Well, it'll suit thee
The bark and the broom blooms bonnie
And your riding steed? Well, it'll suit me
In the morning bright and early"
"The bride came trooping down the stairs
A comb of red gold in her hair
A cup of red wine in her hand
And that she gave to the beggar
Out of the cup he drunk the wine
And into the cup he dropped the ring"
"Or got you it by sea, or got you it by land?
The bark and the broom blooms bonnie
Or got you it from a drowned man's hand
In the morning bright and early?"
"Oh, not by sea and not by land
Nor yet from off a drowned man's hand
I got it at my wooing gay
And I'll give it to you at your wedding
I'll take the red gold from my head
I'll follow you and beg my bread
I'll take the red gold from my head"
"The bark and the broom blooms bonnie
And follow you forevermore
In the morning bright and early"
