[Milk-White Steed] Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight [E] -Sung by Mrs. Lottie Dow, Moose River.
As I rode on a milk white steed
And she rode on the gr€ay,
We rode till we came to her own father's cot
One hour before it was day,
We rode till we came to her own father's cot
One hour be fore it was day.
Light up, light up my pretty polly,
I have three words to say.
Oh hush, oh hush my parrot dear
And tell no tales on me,
Your cage shall be made of the best of gold.
