Come oh 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 he looks not familiar

Is he a stranger from some other town

The town folks 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 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
