The elf-knight sits on yonder hill

Fine flowers in the valley

He blows his horn both loud and shrill

As the rose is blown

He blows it where he liketh best

Scarcely had she these words spoken

When in at the window the elf-knight's broken

As the rose is blown

'It's a very strange matter, fair maid' said he

He leapt on his horse and she on another

'That we may rest before I die’

As the rose is blown

E G D A

She stroked him so fast the nearer he did creep

E G D A

Fine flowers in the valley

E G D A

And with a small charm, she's lulled him to sleep

E G D A

As the rose is blown

A C G D

With his own sword-belt, so fast she's bound him

A C G D

Fine flowers in the valley

A C G D

With his own dagger so sore she's stabbed him

A C G D

As the rose is blown

A C G D

'If seven kings daughters here have you slain’

A C G D

Fine flowers in the valley

A C G D

'Then lie you here, a husband to them all’
