• Lord Lovell (My Own Ignorant Way, 2001)

Lord Lovel he stood at his castle gate,
A-combing his milk-white steed;
When along came Lady Nancy Bell,
A-wishing her lover good speed,
A-wishing her lover good speed.

\"O where are you going, Lord Lovel?\" she said,
\"O where are you going?\" said she;
\"I'm going, my dear Nancy Bell,
Strange countries for to see.\"

\"O when will you be back, Lord Lovel?\" she said,
\"O when will you be back?\" said she.
\"In a year or two or three at the least
I'll return to my Lady Nancy.\"

He hadn't been gone but a year and a day,
Strange countries for to see,
When a languishing thought came into his mind,
Lady Nancy Bell he must see.

He rode and he rode upon his white steed,
Till he came to London Town;
And there he heard St. Varner's bell,
And the people all mourning round.

\"Is anybody dead?\" Lord Lovel he said,
\"Is anybody dead?\" said he.
\"A lord's daughter's dead,\" a lady replied,
\"And some call her Lady Nancy.\"

He ordered the grave to be opened forthwith
And the shroud to be folded down;
And there he kissed the clay-cold lips,
Till the tears came trinkling down.

Lady Nancy she died as she might be to-day
Lord Lovel he died to-morrow
And out of her bosom there grew a red rose
And out of Lord Lovel's a briar

They grew and they grew till they reached the church top
And there they couldn't grow any higher
And there they twined in a true lover's knot
Which true lovers always admire.
