Elf Call - Steeleye Span

I heard a bonny cow low, cow low, cow low

I heard a bonny cow low over the lea

And it was an elf-call, elf-call, elf-call

And it was an elf-call, calling unto me And the little elf-call, elf-call, elf-call

And the little elf-call said unto me Chorus

Come and nurse an elf child, elf child, elf child

Come and nurse an elf child down beneath the sea

Come and nurse an elf child, elf child, elf child

Come and nurse an elf child down beneath the sea

What do you moan for, moan for, moan for

What do you moan for the elf king said to me

I’m moaning for my own child, own child, own child

I’m moaning for my own child, far across the sea

Then the little elf-king, elf-king, elf-king

Then the little elf-king said unto me Chorus
