[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."
