Verse 1
The streams of lovely Nancy do divide in two parts,
Where young men and maidens do meet their sweethearts;

Verse 3
On yonder high mountain a castle does stand,
It is built up of ivory all near the black sand;
It is built up of ivory and diamonds so bright,
It's a pilot for the sailor in a dark winter's night.
Verse 4
On yonder high mountain, where wild fowls do fly,
There is one amongst them that soars very high;
If I'd got her in my cabin, all night for to stand,
Soon would I tame her by the sleight of my hand.
Verse 5
I'll go down in some nunnery, there I'll end my life,
For I never will marry nor yet be made a wife;
For ever to live single, for ever to remain,
For I never will be married till my true love comes again.
