| [00:00] |
There was a Lord who lived in this land |
| [00:07.09] |
There was a Lord who lived in this land |
| [00:15.06] |
He being a Lord of high degree |
| [00:24.02] |
He left his foot down a ship's board |
| [00:31.09] |
And swore strange countries he would go see. |
| [00:42.07] |
He's travelled east and he's travelled west |
| [00:52.00] |
Half the north and the south also |
| [01:00.01] |
Until he arrived into Turkey land. |
| [01:07.08] |
There he was taken and bound in prison |
| [01:17.06] |
Until his life it grew weary. |
| [01:27.04] |
And Turkey bold had one only daughter |
| [01:36.01] |
As fair a lady, as the eye could see |
| [01:44.08] |
She stole the key to her Daddy's harbour |
| [01:53.06] |
And swore Lord Baker, she would set free. |
| [02:02.04] |
Singing, 'You have houses and you have linen, |
| [02:11.06] |
All Northumber belongs to thee |
| [02:19.08] |
What would you give to Turkey's daughter |
| [02:28.04] |
If out of prison she'd set you free?' |
| [02:37.03] |
Singing, 'I have houses, I have linen, |
| [02:46.05] |
All Northumber belongs to me |
| [02:54.05] |
I would will them all to you my darling, |
| [03:03.04] |
If out of prison you set me free?' |
| [03:12.02] |
She's brought him down to her Daddy's harbour |
| [03:21.08] |
And filled for him was the ship of fame |
| [03:30.04] |
And every toast that she did drink round him, |
| [03:39.02] |
'I wish Lord Baker that you were mine.' |
| [03:52.04] |
They made a vow for seven years |
| [04:01.06] |
And seven more for to keep it strong |
| [04:08.07] |
Saying 'If you don't wed with no other woman |
| [04:17.01] |
I'm sure I'll wed with no other man.' |
| [04:26.03] |
And seven years been past and over |
| [04:35.09] |
And seven more they were rolling on |
| [04:44.08] |
She's bundled up all her golden clothing |
| [04:53.00] |
And swore Lord Baker she would go find. |
| [05:03.04] |
She's travelled East and she's travelled West |
| [05:12.03] |
Until she came to the palace of fame |
| [05:20.08] |
'Who is that, who is that?' called the young foot soldier |
| [05:29.05] |
'Who knocks so gently and can't get in?' |
| [05:39.04] |
'Is this Lord Baker's palace?' replied the lady |
| [05:50.03] |
'Or is his lordship himself within?' |
| [05:59.02] |
'This is Lord Baker's palace' replied the porter, |
| [06:08.08] |
'This very day took a new bride in.' |
| [06:21.08] |
'Well ask him send me a cut of his wedding cake |
| [06:31.05] |
A glass of his wine that been e'er so strong |
| [06:40.05] |
And to remember the brave young lady |
| [06:49.01] |
Who did release him in Turkey land.' |
| [07:00.04] |
In goes, in goes, the young foot soldier |
| [07:10.03] |
Kneels down gently on his right knee |
| [07:18.06] |
'Rise up, rise up now the brave young porter, |
| [07:27.03] |
What news, what news have you got for me?' |
| [07:36.02] |
Singing, 'I have news of a grand arrival, |
| [07:45.08] |
As fair a lady as the eye could see |
| [07:54.06] |
She is at the gate |
| [07:57.04] |
Waiting for your charity.' |
| [08:05.06] |
'She wears a gold ring on every finger, |
| [08:15.02] |
And on the middle one where she wears three, |
| [08:23.00] |
She has more gold hanging around her middle |
| [08:31.04] |
Than'd buy Northumber and family.' |
| [08:40.06] |
'She asked you send her a cut of your wedding cake |
| [08:50.01] |
A glass of your wine, it been e'er so strong, |
| [08:59.00] |
And to remember the brave young lady |
| [09:07.06] |
Who did release you in Turkey land.' |
| [09:22.08] |
Down comes, down comes the new bride's mother |
| [09:31.07] |
'What will I do with my daughter dear?' |
| [09:42.05] |
'I know your daughter, she's not been covered |
| [09:52.06] |
Nor has she shown any love for me. |
| [10:00.02] |
Your daughter came with one pack of gold |
| [10:08.07] |
I'll avert her home now, with thirty-three.' |
| [10:17.07] |
He took his sword all by the handle |
| [10:27.03] |
And cut the wedding cake, in pieces three |
| [10:36.00] |
Singing 'here's a slice for the new bride's mother |
| [10:43.08] |
A slice for me new love and one for me.' |
| [10:52.05] |
And then Lord Baker, ran to his darling |
| [11:02.02] |
Of twenty-one steps, he made but three |
| [11:11.00] |
He put his arms around Turkey's daughter |
| [11:19.07] |
And kissed his true love, most tenderly. |
