Come oh come, come away Heather
Who is the boy that you keep by your arm?
Drags a cat around by a tether
Who is the boy that you keep by your arm?
I must say that he looks not familiar
Is he a stranger from some other town?
The townfolk say he looks quite peculiar
They've never seen his kind come around
Tell me, oh tell me, will he be your husband?
Will you, oh will you, will you be his bride?
Will you stay in the house and provide him with children?
Are you sure he will not leave your side?
When tears fill your eyes, whom shall you run to?
You can run to the house on the hill
In this house you will find me standing
By a window waiting for you
