[00:01:10] Oh never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:01:16] So he's laid her all on the ground between himself

[00:01:19] And the wall

[00:01:21] And there he's stripped of her will

[00:01:23] And maiden head and all

[00:01:26] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:01:30] Oh never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:01:36] Oh I slew your father in his bed and your

[00:01:39] Mother by his side

[00:01:40] And seven brothers one by one I drowned them in the tide

[00:01:45] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:01:50] Oh never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:01:55] Oh I'll lay you in a vault of stone with

[00:01:58] Thirty locks upon

[00:01:59] And meat nor drink you will never get till your

[00:02:02] Baby it is born

[00:02:04] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:02:09] Oh never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:02:13] So he's laid her in a vault of stone with

[00:02:16] Thirty locks upon

[00:02:18] And he's taken the key in his right hand to

[00:02:20] The mountain he has gone

[00:02:22] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:02:27] Oh never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:02:50] Prince heathen he from the mountains came with his merry

[00:02:53] Men all in a line

[00:02:55] And he sought out this pretty young girl maid down in

[00:02:58] Her vault of stone

[00:02:59] And how d'you do and do you weep lady tell me true

[00:03:04] I'm never weeping heathen dog but dying here for you

[00:03:08] Oh meat nor drink you'll never get nor out of prison come

[00:03:12] Oh meat nor drink you will never get till your

[00:03:15] Baby it is born

[00:03:17] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:03:21] Ah never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:04:03] Her time came on and further on in labour there she lay

[00:04:07] She laay laboured up she laboured down

[00:04:09] But lighter she could not be

[00:04:12] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:04:16] Ah never yet you heathen dog and never yet for you

[00:04:22] So he's laid her all on the green and his

[00:04:25] Merry men stood around

[00:04:26] And how they laughed and how they mocked as she

[00:04:29] Brought forth a son

[00:04:31] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:04:35] Ah never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you

[00:04:58] A drink a drink the young girl cries all from

[00:05:00] Prince heathen's hand

[00:05:02] Oh never a drop prince heathen cries till ye give

[00:05:05] Up your son

[00:05:06] O lady will you weep for me

[00:05:16] Lend to me a silken shawl or a blanket or a sheet

[00:05:20] That I may wrap this little baby that lies in

[00:05:23] Me arms asleep

[00:05:25] O lady will you weep for me

[00:05:33] Oh I'll lend you an old horse blanket to wrap

[00:05:36] Him head and feet

[00:05:38] And there she took it in her hand so bitter

[00:05:41] She did weep

[00:05:42] O lady do you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:05:47] Oh never yet you heathen dog and never now for you

[00:05:53] Could you not give any better thing than a horse

[00:05:55] Blanket or a sheet

[00:05:57] To wrap and swaddle your own young son that lies

[00:06:00] In my arms asleep

[00:06:10] He's borne her up so very soft borne her up so slow

[00:06:15] He's laid her down in a soft green bed so

[00:06:18] Dearly he loved her now

[00:06:19] O lady will you weep for me lady tell me true

[00:06:24] Ah never yet you heathen dog I never shall for you
