Said the Lord unto his Lady as he rode over the moss
Beware of Long Lankin that lives amongst the gorse
Beware the moss, beware the moor, beware of Long Lankin
Be sure the doors are bolted well
Lest Lankin should creep in
Said the Lord unto his Lady as he rode away
Beware of Long Lankin that lives amongst the hay
Beware the moss, beware the moor, beware of Long Lankin
Be sure the doors are bolted well
Lest Lankin should creep in
Where's the master of the house?, says Long Lankin
He's 'way to London, says the nurse to him
Where's the lady of the house?, says Long Lankin
She's up in her chamber, says the nurse to him
Where's the baby of the house?, says Long Lankin
He's asleep in the cradle, says the nurse to him
We will pinch him, we will prick him
We will stab him with a pin
And the nurse shall hold the basin
For the blood all to run in
So they pinched him and they pricked him
Then they stabbed him with a pin
And the false nurse held the basin
For the blood all to run in
Lady, come down the stairs, says Long Lankin
How can I see in the dark?, she says unto him
You have silver mantles, says Long Lankin
Lady, come down the stairs by the light of them
Down the stairs the lady came, thinking no harm
Lankin, he stood ready to catch her in his arms
There was blood all in the kitchen
There was blood all in the hall
There was blood all in the parlor
Where my lady she did fall
Now Long Lankin shall be hanged
From the gallows, oh, so high
And the false nurse shall be burned
In the fire close by
Said the Lord unto his Lady as he rode over the moss
Beware of Long Lankin that lives amongst the gorse
Beware the moss, beware the moor, beware of Long Lankin
Make sure the doors are bolted well
Lest Lankin should creep in
