The Sun Shines Fair on Carlisle Wall
By AnonymousS
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
And there she has her young babe born,
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
An ye smile sae sweet ye ’ll smile me dead,”
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.
She ’s howket a grave by the light o’ the moon,
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
And there she ’s buried her sweet babe in,
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
She saw a sweet babe in the porch,
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
I ’d clead you in silk and sabelline,”—
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.”
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
To me ye were na half sae kind,
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.
The sun shines fair on Carlisle wa’;
And ye have the pains of hell to dree”—
And the lyon shall be lord of a’.
