The Baffled Knight

There was a shepherd and he

Kept sheep upon a hill

And he would go each May morning

All for to drink his fill

So it's blow the windy morning

Blow the winds, io!

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow

He looked high, he looked low

And he gave a downward look

And there he spied a pretty maid

A-washing at the brook

So it's blow the windy morning

Blow the winds, io!

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow

And then they rode along the road

Till they came unto the inn

And ready was the waiting maid

To let the lady in

So it's blow the windy morning

Blow the winds, io!

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow

She jumped off her milk-white steed

And stepped into the inn

Crying, "You're a beggar without

And I'm a maid within!"

So it's blow the windy morning

Blow the winds, io!

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow

You may pull off your shoes and hose

And let your feet go bare

And if you meet a pretty girl

Then touch her if you dare

So it's blow the windy morning

Blow the winds, io!

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow

Blow the windy morning

Blow the winds, io!

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow

Clear away the morning dew

And sweet the wind shall blow
