Saying, "What ails thee my lady?Your eyes, they look so dim."(Your eyes, they look so dim)"King Henry, King HenryWill you do one thing for me?That's to open my right side,And find my baby?"(And find my baby)"Oh no," cried |

On the day the babe was born, |

Lay cold as the stone.(Lay cold as the stone) |
