[Verse]
   Cm                   Dm
It was an English ladye bright
     Cm                 Gm
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
    Cm                         Dm
And she would marry a Scottish knight
    Gm                 Dm      Cm
For Love will still be lord of all

Cm                           Dm
Blithely they saw the rising sun
     Cm               Gm
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
    Cm                        Dm
But they were sad ere day was done
       Gm                 Dm      Cm
Though Love was still the lord of all

    Cm                         Dm
Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine
       Cm                    Gm
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
    Cm                          Dm
Her brother gave but a flask of wine
    Gm                Dm      Cm
For ire that Love was lord of all

    Cm                            Dm
For she had lands both meadow and lea
          Cm                  Gm
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
    Cm                              Dm
For he swore her death, ere he would see
   Gm                  Dm     Cm
A Scottish knight the lord of all

      Cm                     Dm
That wine she had not tasted well
      Cm                Gm
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
     Cm                                 Dm
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell
     Gm                Dm      Cm
For Love was still the lord of all!

     Cm                       Dm
He pierced her brother to the heart
          Cm                 Gm
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall –
   Cm                         Dm
So perish all would true love part
     Gm                Dm      Cm
That Love may still be lord of all!

    Cm                     Dm
And then he took the cross divine
           Cm                Gm
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall
    Cm                   Dm
And died for her sake in Palestine;
   Gm                 Dm      Cm
So Love was still the lord of all

     Cm                          Dm
Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove
     Cm                 Gm
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
      Cm                          Dm
Pray for their souls who died for love
    Gm                  Dm      Cm
For Love shall still be lord of all!
