But when her father came to know
How that I lov’d his daughter so,
He, Judas-like, betrayed me,
For keeping of her company.
It was at Aulrain that I was ta’en
A prisoner for Lady Jean;
In fetters strong then I was bonnd,
And carried into Aberdeen.
It’s not their frowns that I do mind,
Nor yet the way that I have to go,
But love has pierc’d my tender heart,
And alas! it's brought me very low.
I was embarked at the shore,
Never to see my native shore,
In Germany a Soldier to be,
All for the Lass of Banaphie.
But when I was upon the Seas,
I ne’er could take one moment's ease,
For she was daily in my mind,
The bonny Lass I left behind.
But when I arriv’d in foreign lan',
From my true love a letter came,
