Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. There is a lady sweet and kind. Was never face so pleased my mind. I did but see her passing by, And yet I love her till I die.
2. Her grace, her beauty, and her smile, Her wit, her voice, my heart beguile. They stir my heart, I know not why, And yet I love her till I die.
