| [00:00.500] | False lover John he courted me for every hour in the day |
| [00:08.000] | He courted me til such a degree that I hadn't a word to say |
| [00:15.500] | It's take you all of your father's gold and all of your mother's money |
| [00:23.500] | And steal the keys of your father's stable and thirty steeds and three |
| [00:31.600] | And she had stolen her father's gold and all of her mother's money |
| [00:39.500] | And the keys of her father's stable and thirty steeds and three |
| [00:46.500] | And they have mounted ten milk white steeds rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon |
| [00:55.500] | Until they reach the banks of the river and there they did get down |
| [01:17.500] | Lie you down Miss Maegellín this night along with me |
| [01:24.100] | For here I killed seven king's daughters the eighth one will be thee |
| [01:31.500] | Well turn you round false John she said and view the green leaves on the tree |
| [01:38.200] | It ill because a learning man a naked maid to see |
| [01:46.500] | False lover John he turned around to view the green leaves on the tree |
| [01:53.500] | She threw her arms around his waist and flung him into the sea |
| [02:01.300] | It's there you lie false John she said til death it comes to thee |
| [02:08.700] | For you thought you'd kill me as I was born and take my clothes from me |
| [02:44.500] | Oh reach in your gentle hand and take me to dry land |
| [02:52.000] | And every vow that I have made I'll double it all in once |
| [03:00.500] | She has mounted her milk white steed rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon |
| [03:07.500] | Until she reach her father's castle and there she did get down |
| [03:15.500] | She put the steed all in to the stable the money to where it lay |
| [03:21.700] | And there wasn't a lord in all of the castle knew Maegellín was away |
| [00:00.500] | False lover John he courted me for every hour in the day |
| [00:08.000] | He courted me til such a degree that I hadn' t a word to say |
| [00:15.500] | It' s take you all of your father' s gold and all of your mother' s money |
