Malinky - Thaney lyrics

"Mak' yer bed fu' broad, dear Thaney Mak' yer bed fu' broad and wide There will lie a southern suitor And you shall be his bonnie bride" "Faither dear, my bed is narrow Narrow so it will remain Never will I wed a stranger I would raither lie my lane" "Then I will call you no more daughter I will call you no more mine 'Til the day you die you'll wander Wander oot among the swine" Thaney fae the ha' was banished Banished oot intae the night By and by there came a lady Busked in linens lily-white An' Thaney beckoned tae the lady Through the mirk she couldnae tell That it was a fair-faced laddie Come loomin' like the earl o' hell "Tak yer hands fae aff my shoulders Tak yer hands fae aff my wame" "I will tak' the one thing, lady I never can return again" He has left her lyin' lowin' Lowin' there among the swine Thaney saw her belly growin' Growin' wi' the rue and thyme Word has gone untae the castle Word has gone untae the ha' "Thaney has lain wrang wi' a stranger She has let her snood doon fa'" "Wae be tae the wanton Thaney She has hattered at my heart Take her tae the highest mountain Tie her fast intae a cart" They have shackled Thaney's body Wi' her belly rowin' fu' Every man wi' stone stood ready For to break her back in two But wonders on the bonnie lady Wonders on the Berwick Law Thoough the stanes rained doon wi' fury Not a one on her did fa' Word has gone untae the castle Word has gone through a' the land "Thaney rose up like the morning She stepped softly on the strand" "Wae be tae the wanton Thaney Curses on her blithesome head Let it be by Loth here commanded I will live to see her dead Without sail or row or rudder It's you shall toss the wild, wild faem Let the ocean's dogs devour you Never more you'll rise again" But wonders on the bonnie lady Wonders on the silver spray Cradled by five thousand fishes It's she has reached the Isle o' May Through the turning tide they tumbled Through the rattlin', rollin' storm Safe at Culross Kirk she has landed There she has her baby born "I will make my bed fu' narrow And in it I will lie my lane And my bonnie boy there beside me Nothing more to rue again"
