[Six Pretty Maids] Lady Isabel and the Elf Knight [F] -Sung by Mr. Lloyd A. Sanford, East Walton.
Lie there, lie there, you false young man,
Lie there in-stead of me.
If six pretty maids you have drown-ded here
You shall the seventh be.
The parrot was up in the window so high
And he heard this fair maid's reply,
Saying, "Where have you been you pretty Polly
That you tarry so long before day? "
