| THE Elfin knight stands on yon hill,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| Blawing his horn loud and shrill.
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'If I had yon horn in my kist,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| And the bonny laddie here that I luve best!
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'Ye maun make me a fine Holland sark,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| Without ony stitching or needle wark.
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'And ye maun wash it in yonder well,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| Where the dew never wat, nor the rain ever fell.
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'Now sin ye’ve askd some things o me,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| It 's right I ask as mony o thee.
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'My father he askd me an acre o land,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| Between the saut sea and the strand.
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'And ye maun plow 't wi your blawing horn,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| And ye maun saw 't wi pepper corn.
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa
 | 
| 'When ye’ve dune, and finishd your wark,
 | 
| Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw
 | 
| Ye’ll come to me, luve, and get your sark.'
 | 
| And the wind has blawin my plaid awa |
