And is his lordship here within?" "Oh yes, oh yes," cried the proud young porter "He's just now taken his new bride in" "Tell him to send me a slice of cake And a bottle of the best of wine And not to forget the fair young lady Who did release him when close confined" "What news, what news, my proud young porter What news, whet news do you bring to me?" "There is the fairest of young ladies The fairest one eye ever did see "She's got gold rings on every finger And on her middle finger three She's got as much gold around her middle Would buy Northumberland from thee" Lord Bateman rose from where he was sitting His face it looked as white as snow "Oh if this is the Turkish lady I'm bound with her, love, for to go" And then upspoke the young bride's mother She'd never been known to speak so free "Then what's to become of my young daughter Who's just been made a bride to thee?" Lord Bateman spoke to the young bride's mother "She's none the better nor worse by me She came here on a horse and saddle She shall go home in a coach with thee "Let another wedding be made ready Another wedding there must be I must go marry the Turkish lady Who crossed the raging seas for me" @love @England @jail @wedding Child #53 recorded by the Golden Ring filename[ LORDBATE SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Lost On The Lady Elgin, Love Alone, Love Has No Pride, Love Me Little Love Me Long, Lovesick Blues, Loving Hannah, Loving Nancy, Lowlands, Lowlands Away, Lowlands Of Holland, Lttle Rabbit Fufu, Lucky Lindy, Lumbermans Alphabet, Lumpy Tums, Lure Of The Sea, Lutefisk O Lutefisk, Lynchburg Town, Ma Sheela, Macalister Dances Before The King, Maccrimmons Lament, Macnamaras Band, Macphersons Farewell, Madagascar Native Anthem Text, Madam Im A Darlin, Maggie Dear, Maggie May, Maggie Was A Lady Frankie Johnny Variant, Mahan Stein Song, Maid And The Robber, Maid Gaed Tae The Mill, Maid On The Shore, Maid On The Shore2, Maidens Lament, Maids Conjuring Book, Maids When Youre Young Never Wed An Old Man, Mairis Wedding, Make Me Operations, Make New Friends Round, Makin Coffee, Makin Whoopee Union Version, Making My Will Father Abdeys Will, Making Whoopee, Malawi Anthem Text, Malawi Native Anthem Text, Malaysia Native Anthem Text, Maldives Anthem Text, Maldives Native Anthem Text, Mama Dont Low, Mama Sings, Mamas Dont Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
