There lived a lady in yon Haa

Scowan urla grun

Her name was Lady Lisa Bell

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

The king, he has a-huntin' gane

Scowan urla grun

Left his lady aa alane

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

The Elfin Knight took oot his dart

Scowan urla grun

Pierced poor Lisa tae the heart

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

When the king cam hame at noon

Scowan urla grun

He asked for Lady Lisa Bell

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

His nobles unto him they said

Scowan urla grun

She first was wounded, noo she's dead

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

He's awa intae the wood

Scowan urla grun

Til hair grew o'er him where he stood

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

He sat there for seven years

Scowan urla grun

Til a company to him drew near

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

He sat doon so full o' wae

Scowan urla grun

And he took oot his pipes to play

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

First he played the notes o' noy

Scowan urla grun

And then he played the notes o' joy

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

Then he played the gaber reel

Scowan urla grun

That would make a sick heart heal

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

The Elfin Knight to him did say

Scowan urla grun

What will you hae noo for your pay?

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

For my pay I will thee tell

Scowan urla grun

I'll hae my Lady Lisa Bell

Whar giorten han grun oarlac

You can take your lady hame

Scowan urla grun

And you'll be king o'er aa yer ain

Whar giorten han grun oarlac
