    1. It is all for a noblemans daughter,
    So handsome comely and dear,
    Her father possessed of great riches,
    Of sixty five thousand a year.
    2. Its all for an noblemans daughter,
    Carlirn is her name we are told,
    One day from her drawing room window
    She spied a young sailor bold.
    3. Her cheeks were as red as roses, Her hair was black as jet ,
    Carlirn she left her apartment
    Went out and young William she met
    4. She said I am an noblemans daughter
    And possessed of great riches and gold
    Ill forsake both my father and mother
    And Ill wed with you young sailor bold
    5. Be advised stay at home with your parents
    And do by them as you are told
