Horse and Hattock
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
Horse and Pelatis ho ho ho
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
Ho ho ho
Black luggie, lammer bead
Rowan tree and red thread
Put the witches to their speed
Oh oh ho
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
Horse and Pelatis ho ho ho
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
ho ho ho
Meares' milk and deer's milk
And every beast that bears milk
Between St Johnston and Dundee
Come a to me, oh come a to me
Lay a twig of Rowan Tree
Bound with scarlet thread
Across the threshold of the byre
While it's in her bed
And it's oh... oh...
Matthew Mark Luke and John
Bless the bed that I lay on
Bless the bed that I lay on
Oh ho ho
Four angels at my bed
Four corners to my bed
Four angels at my head
Oh ho ho
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bear my soul away
And two to bear my soul away
Oh ho ho
Lay a twig of Rowan Tree
Bound with scarlet thread
Across the threshold of the byre
While it's in her bed
And it's oh... oh...
Horse and go
Horse and Pelatis ho ho ho
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
Ho ho ho
Black luggie, lammer bead
Rowan tree and red thread
Put the witches to their speed
Oh oh ho
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
Horse and Pelatis ho ho ho
Horse and hattock
Horse and go
ho ho ho
Meares' milk and deer's milk
And every beast that bears milk
Between St Johnston and Dundee
Come a to me, oh come a to me
Lay a twig of Rowan Tree
Bound with scarlet thread
Across the threshold of the byre
While it's in her bed
And it's oh... oh...
Matthew Mark Luke and John
Bless the bed that I lay on
Bless the bed that I lay on
Oh ho ho
Four angels at my bed
Four corners to my bed
Four angels at my head
Oh ho ho
One to watch and one to pray
And two to bear my soul away
And two to bear my soul away
Oh ho ho
Lay a twig of Rowan Tree
Bound with scarlet thread
Across the threshold of the byre
While it's in her bed
And it's oh... oh...
