[Verse 1: Sinéad O’Connor]
There was a Lord who lived in this land
He being a Lord of high degree
He left his foot down a ship's board
And swore strange countries he would go see
[Verse 2: Sinéad O’Connor & Christy Moore]
He's travelled east and he's travelled west
Half the north and the south also
Until he arrived into Turkeyland
There he was taken and bound in prison
Until his life it grew weary
[Verse 3: Christy Moore]
And Turkey bold had one only daughter
As fair a lady, as the eye could see
She stole the key to her Daddy's harbour
And swore Lord Baker, she would set free
[Verse 4: Sinéad O’Connor]
Singing, 'You have houses and you have linen
All Northumber belongs to thee
What would you give to Turkey's daughter
If out of prison she'd set you free?'
[Verse 5: Christy Moore]
A-singin', 'I have houses, I have linen
All Northumber belongs to me
I would will them all to you my darlin'
If out of prison you set me free?'
