| [00:25.394] |
Down in Carlisle there lived a lady |
| [00:30.416] |
Being most beautiful and gay |
| [00:35.075] |
She was determined to stay a lady |
| [00:39.160] |
No man on earth could her betray |
| [00:45.149] |
Unless it was a man of honour |
| [00:50.088] |
A man of honour and high degree |
| [00:55.014] |
And there approached two loving soldiers |
| [00:58.932] |
This fair lady for to see |
| [01:05.966] |
One being a brave lieutenant |
| [01:09.815] |
A brave lieutenant and a man of war |
| [01:14.711] |
The other being a bold sea captain |
| [01:18.632] |
Captain of the ship that had come from afar |
| [01:24.712] |
And then up spoke that brave young lady |
| [01:29.755] |
Saying "I can be but one man's bride |
| [01:34.598] |
But if you'll come back tomorrow morning |
| [01:38.402] |
On this case we will decide." |
| [01:44.329] |
She ordered her a span of horses |
| [01:49.050] |
A span of horses at her command; |
| [01:54.018] |
And down the road these three together |
| [01:58.139] |
They rode 'til they come to the lions' den |
| [02:23.978] |
And there they stopped and there they halted |
| [02:28.832] |
These two soldiers stood gazing round; |
| [02:33.362] |
And for the space of half an hour |
| [02:37.406] |
That young lady lay speechless on the ground |
| [02:42.101] |
And when she did recover |
| [02:46.555] |
Threw her fan in the lions' den |
| [02:51.312] |
Saying, "Which of you to gain a lady |
| [02:55.234] |
Will return my fan again?" |
| [03:01.377] |
And then up spoke that brave lieutenant |
| [03:05.713] |
He raised his voice both loud and clear |
| [03:10.891] |
He said "You know I am a dear lover of women |
| [03:14.849] |
I willl not risk my life for love." |
| [03:21.000] |
And then up spoke that bold sea captain |
| [03:25.629] |
He raised his voice both loud and high |
| [03:30.612] |
He said "You know I am a dear lover of women |
| [03:34.452] |
I will return your fan or die." |
| [03:40.540] |
In the lions' den, he boldly entered |
| [03:45.234] |
The lions being both wild and fierce |
| [03:50.259] |
He walked on high and in among them |
| [03:54.331] |
He did return her fan again |
| [04:00.199] |
And when she saw her lover coming |
| [04:05.110] |
Seeing no harm to him was done |
| [04:09.826] |
She laid her head against his bosom |
| [04:13.906] |
Saying, "Here is the prize that you have won." |
