It was an English ladye bright
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
And she would marry a Scottish knight
For love will still be lord of all
Blithely, they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall
But they were sad ere day was done
Though love was still the lord of all
Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
Her brother gave, but a flask of wine
For ire that love was lord of all
For she had lands both meadow and lea
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
For he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight, the lord of all
ย
That wine she had not tasted well
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell
For love was still the lord of all
He pierced her brother to the heart
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
So perish all would true love part
That love may still be lord of all
And then he took the cross divine
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
And died for her sake in Palestine
So love was still the lord of all
ย
Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
Pray for their souls who died for love
For Love shall still be lord of all
