Norman Kennedy sings "The Fause Knight Upon the Road" to this tune on his album "Ballads & Songs Of Scotland"


Oh where are you going?
Says the false knight upon the road.
I'm going to me school.
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

What is on your back?
Says the false knight upon the road.
Me bundles and me books
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

I came a walking by your door
Says the false knight upon the road.
That lay in your way
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

I flung your dog a stone
Says the false knight upon the road.
I wish it was a bone
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

Oh what sheep and cattles that
Says the false knight upon the road.
They're mine and me fathers
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

And how many shall be mine?
Says the false knight upon the road.
The ones that have the blue tail
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

Oh can I get a share of them?
Says the false knight upon the road.
You cannot get a share of them
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

Why the stick all in your hand?
Says the false knight upon the road.
To keep me from all cold and harm
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

Oh I wish you were in yon tree
Says the false knight upon the road.
And a ladder under me
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

The ladder it'll break
Says the false knight upon the road
And you dor to fall down
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

I wish you were on yon sea
Says the false knight upon the road.
A good boat under me
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

The boat will surely sink
Says the false knight upon the road
And you for to be drowned
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

Has your mother more than you
Says the false knight upon the road.
None of them for you.
Says the wee boy and still he stood.

I think I hear a bell
Says the false knight upon the road
It's ringing you to hell
Says the wee boy and still he stood.
