    (continued from previous page)
    my eyes did see,
    She stole the key of her
    father's prison
    and swore Lord Bateman
    she would set free.
    Have you got houses, have you got lands,
    Or, does Northumberland
    belong to thee,
    What would you give to
    the fair young lady,
    That out of the prison would
    set you free?"
    I have got houses, I have got lands,
    and half Northumberland
    belongs to me,
    I'll give it all to the fair young lady
    That out of the prison would
    set me free.
