Willie and Lady Maisry (Roud 198, Child 70), also known as William and Lady Marjorie, is an English-language traditional folk song, likely originating in Scotland.
[1] In the liner notes to folk musician Joe Rae's recording of this song, Rod Stradling writes that "Joe believes that the ballad is set in the area around Selkirk—possibly at Thirlstane Castle, in Lauderdale, to the north-east of Selkirk.
"[2] Willie kills the watch on Lady Maisry's father's hall to get to her chamber.
Lady Maisry taxes him with it.
This ballad has much in common with Clerk Saunders, with some influence from The Bent Sae Brown.
