    Nancy lovely Nancy you have won
    my heart,
    In your father's garden no more w(e)
    will part,
    In your father's garden so cool and
    serene,
    I'll fold you in my arms in your mantle of green.

    This couple got married I've heard
    people say,
    There were nobles attending at their
    wedding day,
    Peace is proclaimed now the war is
    all ore,
    Your welcome to my arms my Nancy
    once more.
