    Lady on the Mountain
    1. There stands a lady on a mountain. Who she is I do no know. All she wants is gold and silver. And a bright young man you know. Who will you have love farewell. Open the gates and let us through. Not until you show me your black and blue, "This is my black and this is my blue, Open the gates and let us through" Go to church love farewell, Say your prayers love farewell, Put on you gloves love farewell, Stand up love farewell, Go for a walk love farewell, Come back love, come back love, Come back love farewell.
    This is the way the game is
