Hind Horn Lyrics – Daniel Kelly
Singer: Daniel Kelly
Title: Hind Horn
In Scotland, there was a baby born
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
And his name, it was called young Hind Horn
Hey down down didlero
He sent a letter to our king
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
Saying he was in love with his daughter Jean
And it’s hey down down didlero
He’s given to her a silver wand
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
With seven living lavrocks sitting thereon
Hey down down didlero
She’s given to him a diamond ring
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
With seven bright diamonds set therein
Hey down down didlеro
“When this ring grows pale and wan,”
Hey lililu and a hеy lulun
“You may know by it that my love has gone.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
He’s left the land and he’s gone to sea
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
And he stayed there seven years and a day
And it’s hey down down didlero
One day, he’s looked his ring upon
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
And he saw the diamonds pale and wan
Hey down down didlero
He’s left the sea and came to the land
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
And the first he met was a beggar man
Hey down down didlero
“What news, what news?” said the young Hind Horn
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“No news, no news,” said the beggar man
And it’s hey down down didlero
“No news,” said the beggar, “no news at all,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
Oh, but there is a wedding in the king’s hall
And it’s hey down down didlero
“But there is a wedding in the king’s hall,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“And he has haldered(?) it forty days and twa’,”
Hey down down didlero
“Oh, will you lend me your begging coat?”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“And I’ll lend you my scarlet cloak.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
“Oh, will you lend me your beggar’s rung?”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“And I’ll give you my steed to ride upon.”
Hey down down didlero
“Oh, and will you lend me your wig of hair?”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“Oh, to cover mine, ’cause it is fair.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
The old beggar man was bound for the mill
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
But the young Hind Horn for the king’s hall
And it’s hey down down didlero
The old beggar man was bound for the ride
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
But the young Hind Horn was bound for the bride
And it’s hey down down didlero
Oh, when he came to the king’s gate
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
He sought a drink for the Hind Horn’s sake
And it’s hey down down didlero
Oh, the bride came down with a glass of wine
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
When he drank out of the glass, he dropped in the ring
And it’s hey down down didlero
“Oh, got ye this by sea or land?”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“Or got it ye off some dead man’s hand?”
And it’s hey down down didlero
“Oh, I got it not by sea, I got it by land,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“And I got it, madam, out of your hand.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
“Oh, I’ll cast off my gowns of brown,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“And beg with you from town to town.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
“And I’ll cast off my gowns of red,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“And I’ll beg with you to win my bread.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
“Oh, you needn’t cast off your gowns of brown,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“For I’ll make you lady of many a town.”
Hey down down didlero
“And you needn’t cast off your gowns of red,”
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
“It’s only a sham, my begging for bread.”
And it’s hey down down didlero
Well, the bridegroom, he has wedded the bride
Hey lililu and a hey lulun
But the young Hind Horn, he has bedded the bride
Hey down down didlero
Hey down down didlero
