Lady Diamond |
| There was a king, a glorious king |
| A king of noble fame |
| And he had daughters, only one |
| Lady Diamond was her name |
| He had a boy, a kitchen boy |
| A boy of muckle scorn |
| She loved him long, she loved him, aye |
| 'Til the grass o’ergrew the corn |
| When twenty weeks were gone and past |
| Oh, she began to greet |
| Her petticoat and skirts grew short |
| And her stays, they would not meet |
| It fell upon a winter’s night |
| The king felt some strange fear |
| He came unto his daughtr dear |
| Pulled back the curtains long |
| What ailth thee that you shed tear? |
| I worry you’ve been wronged |
| Oh, if I have |
| Despise me not |
| For he is all my joy |
| I will forsake both dukes and earls |
| And marry your kitchen boy |
| Oh, bring to me my merry men |
| All by thirty and by three |
| Oh, bring to me my kitchen boy |
| We’ll murder him secretly |
| Cut the heart from out his breast |
| Put it in a cup of gold |
| Presented to his Diamond dear |
| For she was both stout and bold |
| She took the cup out from their hands |
| Set it at her bed |
| She washed it with her tears that fell |
| By next morning she was dead |
| Oh, where were you, my merry men |
| Who I gave meat and wage |
| That you didn’t stay my cruel hand |
| When I was in a rage? |
| For gone is all my heart’s delight |
| Gone is all my joy |
| For my dear Diamond, she is dead |
| Likewise my kitchen boy |
