The elphin knight sits on yon hill, Ba, ba, ba, lilli ba He blaws his horn both lewd and shril. The wind hath blown my plaid awa He blowes it east, he blowes it west, He blowes it where he lyketh best. I wish that horn were in my kist, Yea, and the knight in my armes two.’ She had no sooner these words said, When that the knight came to her bed. Thou art over young a maid,’ quoth he, ’Married with me thou il wouldst be.’ I have a sister younger than I, And she was married yesterday. Married with me if thou wouldst be, A courtesie thou must do to me. For thou must shape a sark to me, Without any cut or heme,’ quoth he. Thou must shape it knife-and-sheerlesse, And also sue it needle-threedlesse.’ If that piece of courtesie I do to thee, Another thou must do to me. I have an aiker of good ley-land, Which lyeth low by yon sea-strand. For thou must eare it with thy horn, So thou must sow it with thy corn. And bigg a cart of stone and lyme, Robin Redbreast he must trail it hame. Thou must barn it in a mouse-hell, And thrash it into thy shoes sell. And thou must winnow it in thy looff, And also seek it in thy glove. For thou must bring it over the sea, And thou must bring it dry home to me. When thou hast gotten thy turns well done, Then come to me and get thy sark then.’ I’llnot quite my plaid for my life; It haps my seven bairns and my wife.’ The wind shall not blow my plaid awa My maidenhead I’1 then keep still, Let the elphin knight do what he will.’ The wind’s not blown my plaid awa 歌詞大意：妖精騎士與一位相好的姑娘調(diào)侃，他答應(yīng)娶姑娘，但她必須做到一系列不可能做到的事情；而姑娘答應(yīng)做到這些事情，但妖精騎士必須先做到她要求的種種無法實現(xiàn)之事。 1810年版本中的此部分既保留了原歌曲的主要情節(jié)，又接近今天我們聽到的 Scarborough Fair的內(nèi)容，大意為：你能否為我做一件亞麻襯衣，但不能有褶縫和針角？濯洗于遠(yuǎn)方的枯井，晾于從未開花的荊棘？好，你提了三個問題請先回答我的問題，能否為我在沙海之間找一方土地？用羊角耕地，播一粒胡椒種，收割以皮鐮刀，束以孔雀羽？做完了這些事你再來取你的亞麻襯衣。 而我們今天聽到的Simon & Garfunkel的演唱錄制于1965年，相互詰問的情節(jié)已支離破碎，很難看出，讀起來倒像是昔日情人間的私語。另外妖精騎士完全消失，主人公可以引申為一般的普通人。這是這首古老民歌被賦予新意的所在，全部是Paul Simon加入或更改的詞句。
