| A lilting of a lay | B |
| Whom did I meet but she the sweet | C |
| The blue eyed Lotty Hay | B |
| - | |
| A crimson blush her cheek did flush | D |
| Nor sin did that betray | B |
| The pearl is sure a jewel pure | E |
| And so is Lotty Hay | B |
| - | |
| All evil flees her heart yet she's | F |

| Fierce She's not fierce a fly did pierce | I |
| Late pierce her bosom yea | B |
| And made her cry yet that bad fly | L |
| Was spared by Lotty Hay | B |
| - | |
| Not proud nor bold not fierce nor cold | M |
| But meek kind mild alway | N |
| A soul of light did meet my sight | O |
| As I pass'd Lotty Hay | B |
| - | |
| Upon her way she went and nay | B |
| Not lighter moved to day | B |
| The thistle down then upward flown | P |
| Than walked this Lotty Hay | B |
| - | |
| In cotton gown she tript to town | A |
| And not a lady gay | B |
| In satin drest could be more blest | Q |
| Than seemed sweet Lotty Hay | B |
