 Words 


Rare Willy drowned in Yarrow


Willy's rare and Willy's fair

And Willy's wondrous bonny

And Willy heght tae marry me

Gin e'er he married ony.


Yestreen I made my bed fu' braid,

The night I'll make it narrow

For a' the livelong winter's night

I lie twin'd o' my marrow.


O cam' you by the waterside, 

Pu'd you the rose or lily?

Or cam' you by yon meadow green?

Or saw you my sweet Willy?


She sought him east, she sought him west,

She sought him braid and narrow.

Sine in the clifting of a craig

She found him drowned in Yarrow.
