[Verse]
I Cam a King's Gdaughter, come Cstraight from CappoGquin
In search of Lord DGregory, may Fgod, I'll Cfind Ghim
The Crain beats at my Gyellow locks, the Cdew wets me Gstill
The babe is cold in my Darms, love, Lord FGregory Clet me Gin
The Crain rains on my Ggood clothing, the Cdew stands on my Gchin
The babe is cold in my Darms, love, Lord FGregory Clet me Gin

[Verse]
Do you reCmember, love GGregory, that Cnight in CappoGquin?
We exchanged Dhandkerchiefs and Fsore against Cmy Gwill
For Cyours it was fine Glinen, love, and Cmine but course Gcloth
Yours, it cost a Dguinea, love, and Fmine but Cone Ggroat
Do you reCmember, love GGregory, as Cwe sat at the Gwine?
We exchanged Drings, and Faye the best Cwas Gthine
For Cyours it was the Gpurest gold and Cmine but false Gtin
Yours, it cost a Dguinea, love, but Faye, 'twas false CwithGin
Do you reCmember, love GGregory, that Cnight in my father's Ghall?
You stole away my Dmaidenhead, and Fthat's the worst Cof Gall

[Verse]
Lord CGregory is not Ghere and he Chenceforth can't be Gseen
For he's gone to bonny DScotland to bring Fhome his Cnew Gqueen
Lord CGregory is not Ghere and he Clately has Ggone
He's gone to bonny DScotland to Fbring his Cnew bride Ghome
So Cleave now these Gwindows and Clikewise this Ghall
For it's deep in the Dsea you will Ffind your CdownGfall
She's Ctook her young son Gin her arms, turned Cfrom that cold Ghall
Saying, "Deep in the Dsea we will Ffind our CdownGfall"
[Outro]
