Alison Cross

歌詞

Alison Cross lives in yon tower The ugliest witch in the north countrie She's trysted me ae day 'til her bower And mony's the braw spreech she made tae me She showed me a mantle o reid scarlet Weel wrocht wi gowd and fringes fine Says, "Gin ye'll be my leman sae true This gudely gift, it shall be thine" "Awa, awa ye ugly witch Haud far awa and let me be Afore I'll kiss yer ugly mou I'd raither toddle aroond the tree" She showed me a sark o the saftest silk Weel wrocht wi pearls abune the band Says, "Gin ye'll be my leman sae true This gudely gift's at your command" "Awa, awa ye ugly witch Haud far awa and let me be Afore I'll kiss yer ugly mou I'd raither toddle aroond the tree" She showed me a cup o the gude reid gowd Weel wrocht wi jewels sae fair and fine Says, "Gin ye'll be my leman sae true This gudely gift, it shall be thine" "Awa, awa ye ugly witch Haud far awa and let me be Afore I'll kiss yer ugly mou I'd raither toddle aroond the tree" An' she's ta'en oot her grass-green horn She blew it three times loud and shrill She swore by the moon and the stars abune She'd gar me rue the day I ever was born An' she's ta'en oot her silvery wand She straiked it three time o'er her knee She's muttered sic words as my senses failed I feel doon senseless tae the ground "Awa, awa ye ugly witch Haud far awa and let me be Afore I'll kiss yer ugly mou I'd raither toddle aroond the tree" It fell upon last Halloween When the seely coort came riding by The queen's lichtit doon on a gowany bank Nae far fae the tree whaur I did lie An' she's ta'en oot her silvery wand She straked it three times o'er her knee She's turned me back tae ma proper shape Nae mare tae toddle aroond the tree "Awa, awa ye ugly witch Haud far awa and let me be Afore I'll kiss yer ugly mou I'd raither toddle aroond the tree" "Awa, awa ye ugly witch Haud far awa and let me be Afore I'll kiss yer ugly mou I'd raither toddle aroond the tree"
