Kate Rusby - Elfin Knight (with lyrics) video free download
seventh song from the album ' The Girl who couldn't Fly'
The elfin knight stands on yon hill
He blows his horn both loud and shrill
He stands so proud and he stands so still
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
If I had the knight that stands on yon mound
My true love then surely I have found
Down to the church then soon we will be bound
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
He'll make me a dress with seams of fine thread
Make me a garland of flowers for my head
Down to the church then away we'll go to bed
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
The elfin knight stands on yon hill
Blowin' his horn both loud and shrill
He stands so proud and he stands so still
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie
Blow winds blow my bonnie o
Blow winds blow my bonnie

in french they say "t'es bonne" to women...(it means "you're good")its a rather crude way to say they're pretty... maybe bonnie and bonne have common origin....13 years ago

@dogstar75 that makes sense. i always wondered as a kid why we would be singing about 'my bonny lies over the ocean..... bring back my bonny to me.' i thought we might have been saying it wrong, and just talking about a BONNET. lol13 years ago

@dogstar75 - The elfin knight is a statue up on a hill. Hence "he stands so proud and he stands so still". She pretends the wind is the knight blowing a horn to call her “he blows his horn both loud and shrill”. Then she suggests/jests the statue is her true love. Then the rest of the song is the singer sort of daydreaming about how perfect the elfin knight would be “He’ll make me a dress, with seams of fine thread, make me a garland of flowers for me’ head”.13 years ago
