The Bailiff's Daughter Of Islington

Lyrics

There was a fair and fine young man and he was a squire's son
 He loved a Bailiff's daughter dear She lived at Islington
 But she was coy and never would on him her heart bestow
 So they sent him down to London town because he loved her so
 And she sang
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo, and a Lu lie lay
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo as he rode away
 When seven long years had passed away she put on mean attire
 And went straight down to London town about him to inquire
 Well as she passed along the road through peril toil and pain
 She rested on a distant place and her true love he came riding
 And he sang
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo and a Lu lie lay
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo as he rode away
 Well kind young sir, tell unto me where did you learn that tune?
 From a girl that I loved dear when I was a youth.
 But, That was oh so long ago to think I loved in vain.
 She died so many years ago. I never saw her again.
 Then she sang
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo and a Lu lie lay
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo as he rode away
 Well she is not dead but alive dear man and standing by your side
 She is not dead but alive dear man and ready to be thy Bride
 And they sang
 Lu lie, Lu lie lo and a Lu lie lay
 Lu lie lu lie lo as they rode away.
