"I am a queen's daughter
I come from Capakin
In search of Lord Gregory
Pray God I find him"
"The rain beats on my yellow hair
The dew wets my skin
My wee babe's cold in my arms
Lord Gregory, let me in"
"Lord Gregory, he is not here
I swear can't be seen
He's gone to bonny Scotland
For to bring home a fair queen"
"So leave now these portals
And likewise this hall
For it's deep in the sea
You should hide you downfall"
"Oh, don't you remember, love
That night in Capakin
When we exchanged rings, love
And I against my will"
"Yours was pure silver
And mine was but tin
Yours cost a guinea
And mine but a pin"
"My curse on you, mother
My curse being sore
I dreamed that my true love
Come a-knocking at my door"
"Lie down now, my foolish son
Lie down now and sleep
'Twas only the servant girl
Lies drownding in the deep"
"Go saddle my black horse
The brown or the bay
Go saddle my fastest horse
In the stable this day"
"I'll ride over mountains
And valleys so wide
I'll find the girl that I love
And lie by her side"
