  45 Down in Carlisle, there lived a lady

  49 She was determined to live a lady
  50           C           D     G            C/g G
  51 No man on earth could she betray
  52
  53 Unless it were a man of honor
  54 A man of honor, and high degree
  55 And down the road came two loved soldiers
  56 This fair lady for to see
  57
  58 The first one being a brave lieutenant
  59 A brave lieutenant and a man of war
  60 The other being a brave sea captain
  61 Captain on the ship that came from far
  62
  63 Then up spoke this fair young lady
  64 Said: &quot;I can't be but one man's bride
  65 If you'll come back tomorrow morning
  66 On this case we will decide&quot;
  67
  68 She ordered her a span of horses
  69 Span of horses at her command
  70 And down the road these three did travel
  71 'til they came to the lions' den
  72
  73 There they stopped and there they halted
  74 These three young soldiers lay gazing round
  75 And for the space of half an hour
  76 This young lady lay speechless on the ground
  77
  78 When at last she did recover
  79 She threw her light fan in the lions' den
  80 Saying &quot;Which of you to gain a lady
  81 Will retrieve that fan again?&quot;
  82
  83 Then up spoke the brave lieutentant
  84 In a voice both loud and clear
  85 Sayin': &quot;Oh, I am a dear lover of women
  86 But I will never give my life for them&quot;
  87
  88 Then up spoke this brave sea captain
  89 In a voice both clear and high
  90 Sayin': &quot;Oh, I am a true lover of women
  91 I will return her fan or die&quot;
  92
  93 Down in the lions' den he boldy entered
  94 The lions being both loud and fierce
  95 He marched around in and among them
  96 safely returned her fan again
  97
  98 And when she saw her true lover coming
  99 Seeing no harm had been done to him
 100 She threw herself unto his bosom
 101 Saying &quot;Here's the prize that you have won&quot;
