The Elf Knight - Steeleye Span

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 East he blows it West

Fine flowers in the valley

He blows it where he liketh best

As the rose is blown

Lady Isabel sits a-sewing

Fine flowers in the valley

When she heard the elf-knight's horn a-blowing

As the rose is blown

Would I had that horn a-blowing

Fine flowers in the valley

And yon elf-knight for to sleep in my bosom

As the rose is blown

Scarcely had she these words spoken

Fine flowers in the valley

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

Fine flowers in the valley

I cannot blow my horn but you call on me

As the rose is blown

But will you go to the greenwood side

Fine flowers in the valley

If you will not go I'll cause you to ride

As the rose is blown

He leapt on his horse and she on another

Fine flowers in the valley

And they rode on to the greenwood together

As the rose is blown

Light down light down Isabel' said he

Fine flowers in the valley

For we're come to the place where you are to die

As the rose is blown

It's seven kings daughters here have I slain

Fine flowers in the valley

And you shall be the eighth of them

As the rose is blown

Sit down a-while lay your head on my knee

Fine flowers in the valley

That we may rest before I die

As the rose is blown

She stroked him so fast the nearer he did creep

Fine flowers in the valley

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

As the rose is blown

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

Fine flowers in the valley

With his own dagger so sore she's stabbed him

As the rose is blown

If seven kings daughters here have you slain

Fine flowers in the valley

Then lie you here a husband to them all

As the rose is blown
