Child vol ii Cockney copy	A
	-
	-
Lord Bateman was a noble lord	B
A noble lord of high degree	A
He shipped himself all aboard of a ship	C
Some foreign country for to see	A
	-
He sailed east he sailed west	D
Until he came to famed Turkey	A
Where he was taken and put to prison	E
Until his life was quite weary	A
	-
All in this prison there grew a tree	A
O there it grew so stout and strong	F
Where he was chained all by the middle	G
Until his life was almost gone	H
	-
This Turk he had one only daughter	I
The fairest my two eyes eer see	A
She steal the keys of her father's prison	E
And swore Lord Bateman she would let go free	A
	-
O she took him to her father's cellar	I
And gave to him the best of wine	J
And every health she drank unto him	K
Was I wish Lord Bateman as you was mine	J
	-
O have you got houses have you got land	L
And does Northumberland belong to thee	A
And what would you give to the fair young lady	A
As out of prison would let you go free	A
	-
O I've got houses and I've got land	L
And half Northumberland belongs to me	A
And I will give it all to the fair young lady	A
As out of prison would let me go free	A
	-
O in seven long years I'll make a vow	M
For seven long years and keep it strong	F
That if you'll wed no other woman	E
O I will wed no other man	N
	-
O she took him to her father's harbor	I
And gave to him a ship of fame	O
Saying Farewell farewell to you Lord Bateman	E
I fear I shall never see you again	P
	-
Now seven long years is gone and past	Q
And fourteen days well known to me	A
She packed up all her gay clothing	R
And swore Lord Bateman she would go see	A
	-
O when she arrived at Lord Bateman's castle	G
How boldly then she rang the bell	S
Who's there who's there cries the proud young porter	I
O come unto me pray quickly tell	S
	-
O is this here Lord Bateman's castle	G
And is his lordship here within	T
O yes O yes cries the proud young porter	I
He's just now taking his young bride in	T
	-
O bid him to send me a slice of bread	U
And a bottle of the very best wine	J
And not forgetting the fair young lady	A
As did release him when close confine	J
	-
O away and away went this proud young porter	I
O away and away and away went he	A
Until he came to Lord Bateman's chamber	I
Where he went down on his bended knee	A
	-
What news what news my proud young porter	I
What news what news come tell to me	A
O there is the fairest young lady	A
As ever my two eyes did see	A
	-
She has got rings on every finger	I
And on one finger she has got three	A
With as much gay gold about her middle	G
As would buy half Northumberlee	G
	-
O she bids you to send her a slice of bread	U
And a bottle of the very best wine	J
And not forgetting the fair young lady	A
As did release you when close confine	J
	-
Lord Bateman then in passion flew	G
And broke his sword in splinters three	A
Saying I will give half of my father's land	L
If so be as Sophia has crossed the sea	A
	-
Then up and spoke this young bride's mother	I
Who never was heard to speak so free	A
Saying You'll not forget my only daughter	I
If so be Sophia has crossed the sea	A
	-
O it's true I made a bride of your daughter	I
But she's neither the better nor the worse for me	A
She came to me with a horse and saddle	G
But she may go home in a coach and three	A
	-
Lord Bateman then prepared another marriage	V
With both their hearts so full of glee	A
Saying I will roam no more to foreign countries	W
Now that Sophia has crossed the sea	A
