آهنگ: Steeleye Span. Thomas The Rhymer.

True Thomas sat on Huntley Bank
And he beheld a lady gay
A lady that was brisk and bold
Come riding o'er the ferny brae

Her skirt was of the grass green silk
Her mantle of the velvet fine
At every lock of her horse's mane
Hung fifty silver bells and nine

True Thomas, he pulled off his cap
And bowed him low down to his knee
All hail, thou mighty Queen of Heaven
Your like on earth I ne'er did see

No, no Thomas, she said
That name does not belong to me
I am the queen of fair Elf land
And I have come to visit thee

You must go with me Thomas, she said
True Thomas you must go with me
And must serve me seven years
Through well or woe as chance may be

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer

She turned about her milk white steed
And took Thomas up behind
And aye, whenever her bridle rang
Her steed flew swifter than the wind

For forty days and forty nights
They rode through red blood to the knee
And they saw neither sun nor moon
But heard the roaring of the sea

And they rode on and further on
Further and swifter than the wind
Until they came to a desert wide
And living land was left behind

Don't you see yon narrow, narrow road
So thick beset with thorns and briar's?
That is the road to righteousness
Though after it but few enquire

Don't you see yon broad, broad road
That lies across the lily leaven?
That is the road to wickedness
Though some call it the road to heaven

Don't you see yon bonnie, bonnie road
That lies across the ferny brae?
That is the road to fair Elf land
Where you and I this night must go

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer

Hark and carp, come along with me
Thomas the rhymer
