[00:25.68] There was a lady fine and gay,
[00:31.29] She looked so neat and trim;
[00:37.18] She went into her own garden-wall,
[00:43.37] To see her ships come in.
[00:49.25]
[00:49.90] And there she spies her daughter Jane,
[00:53.82] Who looked so pale and wan:
[00:59.37] Oh, have you had some long sickness,
[01:05.12] Or lain ye with some young man??
[01:09.75]
[01:11.88] No, I have had no long sickness,
[01:16.97] Nor lain here with a man:?
[01:22.37] Her petticoats they were so short,
[01:28.06] She was a nine months gone
[01:32.88]
[01:33.74] She was a nine months gone
[01:42.12] Oh is it by some nobleman?
[01:47.80] Or by some man of fame?
[01:53.72] Or is it by John Barbary,
[01:59.30] Who lately come from Spain??
[02:03.95]
[02:05.11] No, it is by a nobleman,
[02:10.43] Nor by no man of fame;
[02:16.36] But it is by John Barbary,
[02:22.33] Who lately come from Spain.?
[02:29.11] Who lately come from Spain.?
[02:35.62]
[03:18.92] And she's calld down her merry men,
[03:24.30] By one, by two, by three;
[03:30.23] John Barbary was once the first,
[03:36.03] But now the last came he.
[03:40.70]
[03:42.01] Oh will you take my daughter Jane,
[03:47.38] And wed her out of hand?
[03:52.86] And you will dine and sup with me,
[03:58.61] And be heir to all my land.?
[04:02.81]
[04:04.05] Oh, I will take your daughter Jane,
[04:09.60] And wed her out of hand;
[04:15.25] And I will dine and sup with you,
[04:20.89] But I do not want your land.?
[04:25.90]
[04:26.64] For I have houses and I have land
[04:32.17] And money out by the grand
[04:37.82] And had it not been for your daughter
[04:38.96] I'd never be your man, I'd never be your man
[04:51.45]
