“Oh, what is the matter?” Lord Lovell, he said,

“And what is the matter?” said he.

And then they said: “A lady is dead;

Some called her the Lady Nancy-cy-cy,

Some called her the Lady Nancy.”

Lady Nancy, she died as it might be to-day,

Lord Lovell, he died on the morrow;

Lady Nancy, she died of pure, pure love,

Lord Lovell, he died of sorrow-row-row,

Lord Lovell, he died of sorrow.
