[00:00.500] False lover John he courted me for every hour in the day
[00:08.000] He courted me til such a degree that I hadn't a word to say
[00:15.500] It's take you all of your father's gold and all of your mother's money
[00:23.500] And steal the keys of your father's stable and thirty steeds and three
[00:31.600] And she had stolen her father's gold and all of her mother's money
[00:39.500] And the keys of her father's stable and thirty steeds and three
[00:46.500] And they have mounted ten milk white steeds rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon
[00:55.500] Until they reach the banks of the river and there they did get down
[01:17.500] Lie you down Miss Maegellín this night along with me
[01:24.100] For here I killed seven king's daughters the eighth one will be thee
[01:31.500] Well turn you round false John she said and view the green leaves on the tree
[01:38.200] It ill because a learning man a naked maid to see
[01:46.500] False lover John he turned around to view the green leaves on the tree
[01:53.500] She threw her arms around his waist and flung him into the sea
[02:01.300] It's there you lie false John she said til death it comes to thee
[02:08.700] For you thought you'd kill me as I was born and take my clothes from me
[02:44.500] Oh reach in your gentle hand and take me to dry land
[02:52.000] And every vow that I have made I'll double it all in once
[03:00.500] She has mounted her milk white steed rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon
[03:07.500] Until she reach her father's castle and there she did get down
[03:15.500] She put the steed all in to the stable the money to where it lay
[03:21.700] And there wasn't a lord in all of the castle knew Maegellín was away
[00:00.500] False lover John he courted me for every hour in the day
[00:08.000] He courted me til such a degree that I hadn' t a word to say
[00:15.500] It' s take you all of your father' s gold and all of your mother' s money
[00:23.500] And steal the keys of your father' s stable and thirty steeds and three
[00:31.600] And she had stolen her father' s gold and all of her mother' s money
[00:39.500] And the keys of her father' s stable and thirty steeds and three
[00:46.500] And they have mounted ten milk white steeds rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon
[00:55.500] Until they reach the banks of the river and there they did get down
[01:17.500] Lie you down Miss Maegelli n this night along with me
