    But where ever I go lovely Mary,
    In my bosom your image I'll wear,
    Until death leaves me cold in oblivion,
    Your image I'll cherish so fair.
    When my foes they'll shout at me in battle,
    And I'll find the smart of my pain;
    Still faithful I'll be to you Mary
    Fair maid of Lord Blayney's Demesne.

    Pandora, Aurora er Venus, or to you I could scarcely compare
    For your eyes shine like two sparkling diamonds
    Or comets that fell from the air.
    You left me scarce able to praise you,
    Fair Gollen could scarce cure my pain;
    You're the killing enchanting young creature
    Fair maid of Lord Blayney's Demesne.
