   The truth I will unfold
   That my precious blood she sold
   In the grave I must lie cold
   She's a dear maid to me.

   1V.
   For now my glass is run
   and the hour it is come
   And I must die for love
   And the height of loyalty
   I thought it was no harm
   to embrace her in my arms
   Or take her from her parents
   But she's a dear maid to me

   V.
   Adieu my loving Father and you my tender mother
   Farewell, my dearest brother
   Who has suffered sore for me
   With irons I'm surrounded
   In grief I lie surrounded
   By perjury unbounded
   She's a dear maid to me.
