When he came to the King’s ain gate,
With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan,
He asked a drink for Young Hynd Horn’s sake,
And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.
These news unto the bonny bride cam’,
With a hey lillelu and a how lo lan,
That at the gate there stands an auld man,
And the birk and the broom blooms bonnie.
There stands an auld man at the King’s gate,
