01:33 There was a lady in the north
01:39 And a needle could find her mallow
01:44 She was courted by nine gentlemen
01:49 And a blue boy laughed at the yarrow
01:54 These nine sat drinking all the wine
02:01 Sat drinking wine on the yarrow
02:05 And a foul-eyed maiden on the mound
02:10 To fetch for her on the yarrow
02:15 And as he walked upon Yon-Hi-Yah-Yel
02:20 Doon-ba-doo-ham-za-yarrow
02:25 Here he saw nine men with men
02:29 Come to fetch for him on the yarrow
02:34 There's nine in here, there's one in me
02:39 It's an uneven meadow
02:44 But I'll fetch to you all one by one
02:48 On the third day in Zoyarrow
02:53 And three he stole, and three they flew
02:59 And three went this early
03:04 Till the blood of John came up beyond
03:08 And pierced his head most thoroughly
03:13 Oh father dear, I dreamed a dream
03:18 I dreamed of jewel and sorrow
03:22 I dreamed I was pinned my head on a bell
03:26 On the third day in Zoyarrow
03:31 Oh daughter dear, I read your doom
03:36 And I died to open your sorrow
03:41 For your love of John lies pale and gone
03:45 On the third day in Zoyarrow
03:50 And as you walked upon Yon-Hi-Yah-Yel
03:55 Doon-ba-doo-ham-za-yarrow
04:00 There she saw a lover so dear
04:03 Lying pale and dead on yarrow
04:09 And her hair had been three quarters long
04:15 And the collar was yellow
04:19 She's wrapping it in her spittle
04:22 She's small and brought him back to yarrow
04:29 Oh father dear, you have seven sons
04:34 You can wed them not to murder
04:38 For the fittest fruit among them
04:42 Is the boy I'll wed on yarrow
