False lover John, he courted me
For every hour in the day
He courted me 'til such a degree
That I hadn't one word to say
It's take you all of your father's gold
And all of your mother's money
And steal the keys of your father's stable
And 30 steeds and three
And she had stolen her father's gold
And all of her mother's money
And the keys of her father's stable
And 30 steeds and three
And they have mounted ten milk-white steeds
Rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon
Until they reach the banks of the river
And there they did get down
Lie you down, Miss Maegellín
This night, along with me
For here I killed seven kings' daughters
The eighth one will be thee
"Well, turn you round, false John," she said
"And view the green leaves on the tree"
It ill because a learning man
A naked maid to see
False lover John, he turned around
To view the green leaves on the tree
She threw her arms around his waist
And flung him into the sea
"It's there you lie, false John," she said
"'Til death it comes to thee"
For you thought you'd kill me as I was born
And take my clothes from me
Oh, reach in your gentle hand
And take me to dry land
And every vow that I have made
I'll double it all in once
She has mounted her milk-white steed
Rode on by the clear silvery light of the moon
Until she reach her father's castle
And there she did get down
She put the steed all into the stable
The money to where it lay
And there wasn't a lord in all of the castle
Knew Maegellín was away
