Lyrics

[00:15.375] Lady Nancy was buried in the church
[00:19.276] Lord Lovell in the quire
[00:23.122] And from Nancy sprang a bonny red rose
[00:27.408] From Lord Lovell a briar
[00:30.783] And they grew, and they grew
[00:32.631] Till the height of the church
[00:34.876] Till they met on either side
[00:38.634] And at the top formed a true lovers knot
[00:42.275] Showing one for the other had died
[00:46.923]
[01:01.133] Lord Lovell stands at his stable door
[01:05.175] Mounted on his white steed
[01:08.569] When by came the Lady NancyBell
[01:12.164] And wished Lord Lovell much speed
[01:15.843] "O where are you going my Lord Lovell
[01:19.684] My dearest tell unto me"
[01:23.324] "I'm going a far journey some strange countries to see
[01:30.482] O but I'll return in seven long years
[01:34.224] Lady NancyBell to see"
[01:37.897] "O seven, seven, seven long years
[01:41.630] They're much too many for me"
[01:45.153] He was gone about a year away, a year but barely one
[01:52.463] When a strange fancy came into his head:
[01:55.972] Lady NancyBell was gone
[01:59.832]
[02:28.724] O it's then he rode and better he rode
[02:32.497] Until he came to the town
[02:36.201] And there he heard a dismal noise
[02:39.771] Yes the churchbells all did sound
[02:43.513] And he asked what were the bells ringing for
[02:47.203] They said: "It's for NancyBell"
[02:50.628] For she's died for a discourteous squire
[02:54.206] And his name is Lord Lovell
[02:57.777] And the lit of the coffin he opened up
[03:01.454] And the linens he folded down
[03:05.142] And it's o'er he kissed her pale, pale lips
[03:08.900] And the tears came trickeling down
[03:12.286] "O may I kiss these pale, pale lips
[03:15.876] For they will never kiss me
[03:19.353] I'll make a vow and I'll keep it true
[03:22.862] That I'll never kiss any but thee"
[03:27.016]
[04:11.528] Lady Nancy was buried in the church
[04:15.381] Lord Lovell in the quire
[04:19.401] And from Nancy sprang a bonny red rose
[04:23.200] From Lord Lovell a briar
[04:26.938] And they grew, and they grew
[04:28.768] Till the height of the church
[04:30.945] Till they met on either side
[04:34.529] And at the top formed a true lovers knot
[04:38.109] Showing one for the other had died
[04:42.912]
