ian & sylvia - lady of carlisle lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
down in carlisle there lived a lady
bein’ most beautiful and g+y
she was determined to live a lady
no man on earth could e’er betray

[verse 2]
unless it were a man of honor
a man of honor and high degree
and then approached two lovin’ soldiers
this fair lady for to see

[verse 3]
one bein’ a brave lieutenant
a brave lieutenant and a man of war
the other bein’ a bold sea captain
captain of a ship that had come from afar

[verse 4]
then up spoke this very young lady
said, “i can’t be but one man’s bride
but if you’ll come back tomorrow mornin’
on this casе we will decide”

[verse 5]
shе ordered her a span of horses
a span of horses at her command
and down the road these three did travel
’til they come to the lions’ den
[verse 6]
and there she stopped, and there she halted
these two soldiers stood gazin’ around
and for the sp+ce of half an hour
she lay speechless on the ground

[verse 7]
and when at last she did recover
threw her fan down in the lions’ den
sayin’ “which of you to gain a lady
will return her fan again?”

[verse 8]
and up spoke the bold lieutenant
and he raised his voice so loud and high
he said, “i am a true lover of women
but i will not give my life for love”

[verse 9]
then up spoke bold sea captain
and he raised his voice both loud and high
he said “i am a true lover of women
and i will return her fan or die”

[verse 10]
in the lions’ den he boldly entered
the lions bein’ both wild and fierce
he marched around and in among them
safely returned her fan again
[verse 11]
and when she saw her lover comin’
seein’ no harm been done to him
she threw herself ‘gainst his bosom
sayin’. “here’s the prize that you have won”
