  1. HE’S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS • Lady Isabel sits in her window a-sewing, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • There she heard an elf-knight’s horn a-blowing. • On the first morning in May • 'If I had the horn that I hear blowing, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • And you elf-knight to be here beside me.' • On the first morning in May • This maiden had scarcely these words spoken, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • In at her window the elf-knight had open. • On the first morning in May

  2. LADY ISABEL AND THE ELFIN KNIGHT (Page 2) • 'It's a very strange matter, fair maiden,' said he, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • 'I cannot blow the horn but you call on me. • On the first morning in May • 'But will ye go to yon greenwood side? • Aye as the gowans grow gay • If you can go with me I’ve horses to ride.' • On the first morning in May • He leapt on a horse, and she on another, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • And they rode on to the greenwood together. • On the first morning in May

  3. LADY ISABEL AND THE ELFIN KNIGHT (Page 3) • 'Light down, light down, lady Isabel,' said he, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • We are come to the place where ye are to die. • On the first morning in May • 'Have mercy, have mercy, kind sir, on me, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • Till once my dear father and mother I see.' • On the first morning in May • 'Seven king's-daughers here have I slain, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • And you’ll be the eight of them, here on this day' • On the first morning in May

  4. LADY ISABEL AND THE ELFIN KNIGHT (Page 4) • O sit down a while, lay your head on my knee, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • That we may have some rest here be fore I die.' • On the first morning in May • She stroked his hair and she kissed him sweet, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • With this small charm she lulled him to asleep. • On the first morning in May • With his own sword-belt fast as she bound him, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • With his dag ger she stood as she stabbed him. • On the first morning in May

  5. LADY ISABEL AND THE ELFIN KNIGHT (Page 5) • 'If seven king's-daughters here you have slain, • Aye as the gowans grow gay • Lie you here as a husband to them.' • On the first morning in May
