D'ye mind, d'ye mind, Lady Margerie,
When we handed round the beer?
Seven times I fainted for your sake,
And you never dropt a tear.

‘D'ye mind, d'ye mind, Lady Margerie,
When we handed round the wine?
Seven times I fainted for your sake,
And you never fainted once for mine.’

And he's taen the baby out of her womb
And thrown it upon a thorn:
‘Let the wind blow east, let the wind blow west,
The cradle will rock its lone.’

But when brother Henry's cruel brand
Had done the bloody deed,
The silver-buttons flew off his coat,
And his nose began to bleed.
[OMITTED]

‘O I have been killing in the silver wood
What will breed mickle woe;
I have been killing in the silver wood
A dawdy and a doe.’
[OMITTED]
