The lass sits in a chamber, weeping and wavering She saw her father travelling by the sea shore Oh my father, my dear father, please ransom me! How can I ransom you when I have so little money? Well you have three horses, give the best one as ransom I would rather give up my daughter than my best horse The lass sits in a chamber, weeping and wavering She saw her mother travelling by the sea shore Oh my mother, my dear mother, please ransom me! How can I ransom you when I have so little money? Well you have three cows, give the best one as ransom I would rather give up my daughter than my best cow The lass sits in a chamber, weeping and wavering She saw her brother travelling by the sea shore Oh my brother, my dear brother, please ransom me! How can I ransom you when I have so little money? Well you have three swords, give the best one as ransom I would rather give up my sister than my best sword The lass sits in a chamber, weeping and wavering She saw her sweetheart travelling by the sea shore Oh my sweetheart, my dear sweetheart, please ransom me! How can I ransom you when I have so little money? Well you have three houses, give the best one as ransom The sweetheart gave his best house and thus he ransomed the lass The lass sits in a chamber, laughing and singing May my father's horse fall at the best ploughing time! May my mother's cow fall at the best milking time! May my brothers sword break at the best fighting time! May my sisters dress tear at the best washing time! May my sweethearts house rise as high as three castles!
