[01:29.46]It was an English ladye bright,
[01:34.20]The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
[01:40.11]And she would marry a Scottish knight,
[01:44.52]For Love will still be lord of all.
[01:50.64]
[01:53.21]Blithely they saw the rising sun
[01:58.05]When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
[02:03.77]But they were sad ere day was done,
[02:08.64]Though Love was still the lord of all.
[02:15.37]
[02:21.89]Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,
[02:26.79]Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
[02:32.51]Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
[02:36.95]For ire that Love was lord of all.
[02:43.80]
[02:45.45]For she had lands both meadow and lea,
[02:50.36]Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
[02:55.89]For he swore her death, ere he would see
[03:00.74]A Scottish knight the lord of all.
[03:08.37]
[03:40.49]That wine she had not tasted well
[03:45.17]The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
[03:50.11]When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell,
[03:54.73]For Love was still the lord of all!
[04:01.27]
[04:02.02]He pierced her brother to the heart,
[04:06.23]Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
[04:11.31]So perish all would true love part
[04:15.56]That Love may still be lord of all!
[04:21.56]
[04:24.94]And then he took the cross divine,
[04:29.75]Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
[04:35.18]And died for her sake in Palestine;
[04:39.90]So Love was still the lord of all.
[04:48.21]
[05:12.40]Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove,
[05:18.11]The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
[05:23.96]Pray for their souls who died for love,
[05:29.18]For Love shall still be lord of all!
