Lord Lovell he stood at his castle gate
Comb'in his milk white steed
When along came th Lady, fair Nancy Bell
To wish her lover speed
To wish her lover speed

O, who is dead, Lord Lovell he said,
O, who is dead, said he
I do not know her name in full
Some call her th Lady Nancy
Some call her th Lady Nancy Bell
