O did you ever hear o' brave Earl Bran?
Ay lally, o lilly lally!
He courted the king's daughter of fair England,
All i' the night sae early.
She was scarcely fifteen years of age,
Till sae boldly she came to his bed-side.
"O, Earl Bran, fain wad I see
A pack of hounds let loose on the lea."
"O lady, I have no steeds but one,
And thou shalt ride, and I will run."
