lirik lagu jim moray - long lankin
said the lord to his lady as he mounted his horse
“beware of long lankin who lives in the moss
let the doors be all bolted, and the windows all pinned
and leave not a crack for long lankin to get in”
but his words fell like raindrops in the heat of the day
they rang in her ears as he walked away
though the doors were all bolted, the windows all pinned
through a crack in the fireplace, long lankin crept in
“where’s the lord of this household”, lankin he cried
“he’s out at the hunting, his horses to ride”
“where’s the master of this household” lankin he cried
for it’s only his uncle, come to visit the boy
and he’s pr~cked him, and he’s pr~cked him with a long silver pin
the nurse held a basin for the blood to drip in
and how he did suffer, how he did moan
that his cries woke his mother all asleep in her room
“oh nurse how you slumber, nurse how you sleep
you’re leaving my baby to cry and to weep”
“well i’ve tried him with blanket, i’ve tried him with bell
so come down my lady and rock him yourself”
so down came the lady, not thinking no harm
and lankin stood ready to catch in his arms
there was blood in the kitchen, blood in the hall
blood on the staircase where the lady did fall
then up spoke the handmaid, by the window so high
she spies her master come riding close by
“oh master, oh master, don’t put blame on me
for the false nurse and lankin have k!lled your baby”
now lankin will be taken to the gallows so high
the false nurse is burned in the fire close by
so children remember, the windows to pin
and leave not a crack for long lankin to get in
