¶Lyrics / Text

Willy’s rare, and Willy’s fair, And Willy’s wond’rous bonny, And Willy hecht to marry me, Gin e’er he marry’d ony. O came you by yon Water-side, Pu’d you the Rose or Lily; Or came you by yon Meadow green, Or saw you my sweet Willy? She sought him East, she sought him West, She sought him braid and narrow; Syne in the clifting o’ a Craig, She found him drown’d in Yarrow. attr. William Thompson (1695–1753)
