  1. Young Martilard

    Share Share Post
    There was a lord lived in this place,
    That had a lovely daughter.
    She fell in love with a young man
    That was a servant to her father.
    And when her father came to know
    He said that he would make him leave the Island
    The lady said my heart will break
    If I would part with you Martylard
    She went to his lonely chamber
    "Rise you up before its day"
    "This very night you will be taken"
    Last night I heard my father day
    In spite of fate he would transport you.
