There Stands A Lady (Keys of Heaven) from John Barnett of Bridgwater, Somerset on 12 April, 1906. Collector: Cecil J. Sharp,
[Gets in the ring with A in the middle they sing:]
There stands a lady on the mountain,
Who she is I do not know;
All she wants is gold and silver,
All she wants is a nice young man.
Madam will you walk? Madam will you talk?
Madam will you marry me? [A shouts "No!"]
Not if I buy you a nice arm chair
To sit your baby ev'ry afternoon? No!
There stands a lady on the mountain,
Who she is I do not know;
All she wants is gold and silver,
All she wants is a nice young man.
Madam will you walk? Madam will you talk?
Madam will you marry me?
Not if I buy you a nice silver spoon
To feed your baby ev'ry afternoon? No!
