[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.
