Lady Nancy was buried on one hill top;

Lord Lovell was buried on t’other;

And out of her bosom there grew a red rose,

And out of her lover’s a brier-er-er,

And out of her lover’s a brier.

They grew and they grew, to the church steeple top,

And they couldn’t grow any higher;

And then they formed a true lover’s knot, knot,

Which all true lovers admire-er-er,

Which all true lovers admire.
