William and Marjorie

Lady Marjorie, Lady Marjorie,

Sat sewing her silken seam,

And by her came a pale, pale ghost,

Wi' mony a sigh and mane.

"Are ye my father, the king?" she says,

"Or are ye my brither John?

Or are ye my true love, sweet William,

From England newly come?"

"I'm not your father, the king," he says,
