[Fragment from Lambkin: A Study in Evolution by Anne G. Gilchrist; Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society, Vol. 1, No. 1 (Dec., 1932), pp. 1-17. Also in Folk Songs from Newfoundland, 1934 version A. As Bronson 3, where he says the text is from a different singer.
This is given as an example the Northumbrian or English version, form 2 in Gilchrist's article- it lacks the opening stanza about the mason (see Child A) found in the Scottish versions.

B. [LORD LAMKIN] Noted by MAUD KARPELES. Sung by Mrs. Theresa Corbett, Oct. 23, 1929 at Conception Bay, Newfoundland.
1. Said Lord Douglas to his lady
In walking one day:
"Beware of Lord Lamkin
When he comes this way."
2. "Why need I beware of Lord Lamkin?" she says,
"With my doors well bolted
And my windows barred in."
(No more words).
