Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger – The Elfin Knight Lyrics
Artist: Ewan MacColl & Peggy Seeger
Song: The Elfin Knight
There stands three trumpeters on yon hill
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
And they blew their trumpets sae loud and shrill
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Gin I’d his trumpet in my kist
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
And was in the lad’a airms that I like best
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Gin ye would be wed wi me;
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
There’s ae thing ye maun dae for me
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Ye maun mak’ me a linen sark
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
Without a stitch o’ needlewark
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Ye maun wash it in yon draw-well
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
Where water never sprang nor fell
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Ye maun dry’t on yon hawthorn
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
That nevеr saw blossom since Adam was born
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
And gin I mak’ a sark for thee
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
Therе’s ae thing ye maun dae for me
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
My faither has an acre o’ land
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
Ye maun ploo it wi’ your ae hand
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Ye maun sow it wantin’ corn
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
And roll it wi’ a sheep’s shank-bone
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Ye maun shear it wi’ a scythe o’ leather
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
And bind it wi’ a peacock’s feather
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
Ye maun stook it in the sea
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
And bring the wheatsheaf dry to me
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
And gin ye dae noo a’ this wark
Blaw, blaw, blaw winds blaw
Come to me and you’ll get your sark
And the wind it blows my plaid awa’
