| It's night at Haye la Serre | B |
| The maidens weave since day grew eve | C |
| The lady's in her chair | B |
| O passing slow the long hours go | D |
| With time to think and sigh | E |
| When weary maidens weave beneath | F |
| A listless lady's eye | E |
| It's two days that Earl Simon's gone | G |
| And it's the second night | H |
| At Haye la Serre the lady's fair | B |
| In June the moon is light | H |
| O it's Maids ye'll wake till I come back | I |
| And the hound's i' the lady's chair | B |
| No shuttles fly the work stands by | E |
| It's play at Haye la Serre | B |
| The night is worn the lamp's forlorn | J |
| The shadows waste and fail | K |
| There's morning air at Haye la Serre | B |
| The watching maids look pale | K |
| O all unmarked the birds at dawn | G |
| Where drowsy maidens be | L |
| But heard too soon the lark's first tune | M |
| Beneath the trysting tree | L |
| Hold me thy hand sweet Dennis Shand | N |
| Says the Lady Joan de Haye | O |
| That thou to morrow do forget | P |
| To day and yesterday | O |
| For many a weary month to come | Q |
| My lord keeps house with me | L |
| And sighing summer must lie cold | R |
| In winter's company | L |
| And many an hour I'll pass thee by | E |
| And see thee and be seen | S |
| Yet not a glance must tell by chance | T |
| How sweet these hours have been | U |
| We've all to fear there's Maud the spy | E |
| There's Ann whose face I scor'd | V |
| There's Blanch tells Huot everything | W |
| And Huot loves my lord | V |
| But O and it's my Dennis 'll know | D |
| When my eyes look weary dim | X |
| Who finds the gold for his girdle fee | L |
| And who keeps love for him | X |
| The morrow's come and the morrow night | H |
| It's feast at Haye la Serre | L |
| And Dennis Shand the cup must hand | N |
| Beside Earl Simon's chair | L |
| And still when the high pouring's done | Y |
| And cup and flagon clink | Z |
| Till his lady's lips have touched the brim | X |
| Earl Simon will not drink | Z |
| But it's Joan my wife Earl Simon says | A2 |
| Your maids are white and wan | B2 |
| And it's O she says they've watched the night | H |
| With Maud's sick sister Ann | C2 |
| But it's Lady Joan and Joan my bird | D2 |
| Yourself look white and wan | B2 |
| And it's O I've walked the night myself | E2 |
| To pull the herbs for Ann | C2 |
| And some of your knaves were at the hutch | F2 |
| And some in the cellarage | G2 |
| But the only one that watched with us | H2 |
| Was Dennis Shand your page | G2 |
| Look on the boy sweet honey lord | V |
| How drooped his eyelids be | L |
| The rosy colour's not yet back | I |
| That paled in serving me | L |
| O it's Wife your maids are foolish jades | I2 |
| And you're a silly chuck | J2 |
| And the lazy knaves shall get their staves | K2 |
| About their ears for luck | J2 |
| But Dennis Shand may take the cup | L2 |
| And pour the wine to his hand | N |
| Wife thou shalt touch it with thy lips | M2 |
| And drink thou Dennis Shand | N |
