68 I have a song to sing, O! Sing me your song, O! It is sung with the ring
 * Of the song maids sing
 * Who love with a love life-long, O!

It's the song of a merrymaid, peerly proud, Who loved a lord, and who laughed aloud At the moan of the merryman, moping mum, Whose soul was sore, whose glance was glum, Who sipped no sup, and who craved no crumb,
 * As he sighed for the love of a ladye!
 * Heighdy! heighdy!
 * Misery me—lackadaydee!

He sipped no sup, and he craved no crumb,
 * As he sighed for the love of a ladye.

I have a song to sing, O! Sing me your song, O! It is sung to the knell
 * Of a churchyard bell,
 * And a doleful dirge, ding dong, O!

It's a song of a popinjay, bravely born, Who turned up his noble nose with scorn At the humble merrymaid, peerly proud, Who loved that lord, and who laughed aloud At the moan of the merryman, moping mum, Whose soul was sad, whose glance was glum, Who sipped no sup, and who craved no crumb,
 * As he sighed for the love of a ladye!
 * Heighdy! heighdy!
 * Misery me—lackadaydee!

He sipped no sup, and he craved no crumb, As he sighed for the love of a ladye!
