哦，住在你们镇上的艾利森·格罗斯，是北方最丑陋的女巫，她和我缠绵了一天，直到她死，她对我说了许多动听的话。她摇了摇我的头，摇了摇我的头发，把我安全地放在她的膝上。他说:“如果你愿意做我的丈夫，那就照我说的去做吧。”她给我看了一件鲜红的斗篷，上面缀着鲜艳的花朵和精致的流苏;他说:“如果你愿意做我的丈夫，这美好的礼物将属于你。”“走开，走开，你这个丑陋的女巫，把手放远点，让我呆着;我永远不会成为你的丈夫，真的，我希望我不在你身边。”她戴着一条最安全的丝绸围巾，腰带上镶着珍珠;他说:“如果你是我的挚爱，这份美好的礼物就交给你吧。”她递给我一杯上好的红葡萄酒，上面镶满了珠宝，很好看;他说:“如果你愿意做我的丈夫，我就把这份好礼物送给你。”“走开，走开，你这个丑陋的女巫，走开，让我呆着吧; For I wadna ance kiss your ugly mouth, For all the gifts that ye cou'd gi'e.' She's turn'd her richt and round about, And thrice she blew on a grass-green horn; And she sware by the moon and the stars aboon, That she'd gar me rue the day I was born. Then out has she ta'en a silver wand, And she turn'd her three times round and round; She mutter'd sic words, that my strength it fail'd, And I fell down senseless on the ground. She turn'd me into an ugly worm, And gar'd me toddle about the tree; And aye on ilka Saturday night, Auld Alison Gross she came to me, With silver basin, and silver kame, To kame my headie upon her knee; But rather than kiss her ugly mouth, I'd ha'e toddled for ever about the tree. But as it fell out on last Hallow-e'en, When the seely court was ridin' by, The queen lighted down on a gowan bank, Near by the tree where I wont to lye. She took me up in her milk-white hand, And she straik'd me three times o'er her knee; She chang'd me again to my ain proper shape, And nae mair do I toddle about the tree.
