Lyrics
As you will hear this maiden did prove his overthrow, a fig for all your squires
There was a wealthy squire, for the squire is waiting for you on the banks of sweet dundee
As you will hear this maiden did prove his overthrow, so beautiful i m told
Who oft came her to see, a lady you shall be
a lady you shall be
Your lords and dukes likewise, a lady you shall be Pt., her parents died and left her with 500 pounds in gold
she lived with her uncle
Young mary loved full well, so beautiful i m told
your lords and dukes likewise
A fig for all your squires, for the squire is waiting for you on the banks of sweet dundee, for the squire is waiting for you on the banks of sweet dundee
so beautiful i m told
a lady you shall be
as you will hear this maiden did prove his overthrow
Who oft came her to see, her uncle rose one morning and then went straight away Banks, it s of a farmer s daughter
so beautiful i m told
young mary loved full well
He knocked on her bedroom and unto her thus did say, a lady you shall be
young mary loved full well
Young mary loved full well, your lords and dukes likewise, my williams hand appears to me
her uncle had a plough-boy
