Down in Carlisle there lived a lady
She was beautiful and gay
She was determined to stay a lady
No man on earth could her betray
Unless it was a man of honour
A man of honour and high degree
And there approached two lucky soldiers
This fair young lady for to see
One being a brave lieutenant
A brave lieutenant and a man of war
The other being a bold sea captain
Captain of a ship that had come from afar
And then up spoke that brave young lady
Saying, "I can be but one man's bride
If you'll come back tomorrow morning
On this case we will decidе"
She ordered hеr a span of horses
A span of horses at her command
And down the road these three together
They rode 'til they come to the lion's den
And there they stopped and there they halted
Those two soldiers stood gazing around
And for the space of a half-an-hour
That young lady lay speechless on the ground
She was beautiful and gay
She was determined to stay a lady
No man on earth could her betray
Unless it was a man of honour
A man of honour and high degree
And there approached two lucky soldiers
This fair young lady for to see
One being a brave lieutenant
A brave lieutenant and a man of war
The other being a bold sea captain
Captain of a ship that had come from afar
And then up spoke that brave young lady
Saying, "I can be but one man's bride
If you'll come back tomorrow morning
On this case we will decidе"
She ordered hеr a span of horses
A span of horses at her command
And down the road these three together
They rode 'til they come to the lion's den
And there they stopped and there they halted
Those two soldiers stood gazing around
And for the space of a half-an-hour
That young lady lay speechless on the ground
