Lord Bateman was a noble lord, a noble lord of some [N] high degree.
He shipped himself all on board of a ship, some foreign country he would go see.
He sailed at east and he sailed at west until he came to Prowter Quay,
where he was bounded and put to prison.
Until of life he grew quite weary.
All in this prison there grew a tree, oh there it grew so stout and strong,
where he was bound all by the middle, until his life it was almost gone.
Oh the turkey had but one only daughter, the fairest of my two eyes did see.
She took the keys to her father's prison and swallowed Bateman she would set free.
She took him to her father's cellar and gave to him the best of wine,
and every health that she drank unto him, I wish Lord Bateman that you was mine.
Oh have you houses and have you land, and does not Thumberland belong to thee?
And what would you give to the fair young lady as out of prison would set you free?
Oh I have houses and I have land, and hath not Thumberland belongs to me?
And I'd give it all to the fair young lady as out of prison would set me free.
Oh for seven long years I'll make a vow, for seven long years and keep it strong,
that if you will wed with no other woman, then I will wed with no other man.
Oh she took him to her father's harbour and gave to him a ship of fame,
[D] oh fare thee [N] well to you Lord Bateman, I fear I never shall see you again.
Now seven [Abm] long years it is past and gone, and [N] fourteen days well known to me.
She packed up all of her clothing and swallowed Bateman she would go to sea.
Oh when she came to Lord Bateman's castle, how boldly then she rang upon the bell,
who's there, who's there, cried the bold young porter, oh come to me pray quickly tell.
Oh is this here Lord Bateman's castle and is his lordship here within?
Oh yes, oh yes, cried the proud young porter, he's just now taking his young bride in.
Oh bid him send me a slice of bread and a bottle of the best of wine,
and not [Ab] forgetting the fair young lady as did release him when in close confine.
Away, away went this proud young porter, away, away and away went he,
until he came to Lord Bateman's chamber when he [N] went down on his bended knee.
What news, what news my proud young man, what news, what news come tell to me.
Oh there is such a fair young lady as ever my two eyes did see.
Oh she's got rings on every finger and on one finger she has got three,
with as much gay gold all about her middle as would buy half Northumberland from
