Come running the justice's daughter, a beautiful woman was she
Ayo jalankan putri keadilan, wanita cantik dia
Saw John Hamilton singing and on him she cast her eye
Melihat John Hamilton bernyanyi dan bersamanya dia menatapnya
“Daddy go open the chamber and let the young gentleman in
“Ayah membuka bilik dan membiarkan pria muda itu masuk
See that you use him genteelly and give him a bottle of wine.”
Kaulihat bahwa Anda memakainya dengan sopan dan memberinya sebotol anggur. “

Berikan cincin emas pada wanita itu dan teruskan nyanyiannya pergi

Went home with the justice's daughter and that put an end to his song
Pulanglah dengan putri keadilan dan yang mengakhiri lagunya

Dia mencintainya karena membunyikan jarinya, dia mencintainya karena menyanyikan sebuah lagu
Loved him for eeti-fi-adelty, tay-i-adelty tan
Mencintainya untuk eeti-fi-adelty, tan tay-i-adelty
