| there was a lord lived in this town | |
| who had a fair and lovely daughter | |
| she was courted by a handsome man | |
| who was a servant to her father | |
| but when her parents came to know, | |
| they swore they'd ban him from the island | |
| this maid, she knew | |
| that her heart would break, | |
| had she to part with young matt hyland | |
| straightway to her love | |
| she went and then | |
| into his room to wake him | |
| saying, "arise, my love, and go away, | |
| this very night you will be taken | |
| i overheard my parents say, | |
| in spite of me they would transport you | |
| arise, my love, and go away, | |
| i wish to god i'd gone before you" | |
| they both sat down | |
| all upon the bed all for the sight | |
| of one another | |
| and not one word did either speak | |
| 'til down her cheeks the tears did shower | |
| she laid her head upon his breast, | |
| around his neck her arms entwined then | |
| "no duke nor earl nor lord i'll wed, | |
| i'll wait for you, my own matt hyland" | |
| "how can i go away, my love? | |
| how can i go without my wages? | |
| without one penny of my own, | |
| just like some low and lonesome vagrant?" | |
| "here's twenty guineas in bright gold, | |
| that's far much more than father owes you | |
| take it, love, and go away, | |
| you know right well i do adore you" | |
| the lord conversed with his daughter fair | |
| one night above in her bed chamber | |
| saying, | |
| "i'll give you leave for to bring him back, | |
| since there's no one can win your favor" | |
| she wrote a letter in great haste, | |
| for him her heart was still repining | |
| they brought him back, | |
| to the church they went, | |
| and made a lord of young matt hyland |
