Jack O'Rion was the finest fiddler ever fiddled on the string[00:00:25]

He could drive young ladies wild with a tune his wires would sing[00:00:31]

He could fiddle the fish out of salt water water from a marble stone[00:00:36]

Or milk from out a maiden's breast though baby she had none[00:00:41]

There he played in the castle hall and there he played them fast asleep[00:00:56]

Except it was for the young countess who for love she stayed awake[00:01:01]

So first he played her a slow air and then he played it brisk and gay[00:01:06]

And oh dear love behind her glove this lady she did say[00:01:11]

Ere the day has dawned and the *****s have crowed and flapped their wings so wide[00:02:54]

It's you must come to my chamber there and lie down by my side[00:03:00]

So he wrapped his fiddle in a cloth of green and he stole out on his a tip a toe[00:03:05]

And he's off back to his young boy Tom as fast as he could go[00:03:10]

Ere the day has dawned and the *****s have crowed and flapped their wings so wide[00:04:04]

I'm bid to go to the lady's door and stretch out by her side[00:04:09]

Lie down lie down my good master here's a blanket to your hand[00:04:14]

And I'll waken you in as good a time as any *****in this land[00:04:20]

Now Tom took the fiddle into his hand he fiddled and he played for a full hour[00:04:36]

Until he played him fast asleep he's off to the lady's bower[00:04:42]

And when he came to her chamber door he twirled softly at the pin[00:04:48]

The lady true to her promise rose up and let him in[00:04:54]

He did not take that lady gay to bolster nor to bed[00:05:10]

But down upon the hard cold floor right soon he had her laid[00:05:15]

And he did not kiss her when he came nor yet but from her he did go[00:05:21]

But in out the lady's bedroom window the moon like a coal did glow[00:05:26]

Ragged are your stockings love and stubbly is your cheek and chin[00:05:36]

And tousled is that yellow hair that I saw yestereve[00:05:41]

These stockings belong to my boy Tom they were the first came to my hand[00:05:48]

The wind must have tousled my yellow hair and I rode over the land[00:05:53]

Now Tom took the fiddle into his hand he fiddled and he played so saucily[00:06:00]

He's off back to his master's house as fast as go could he[00:06:06]

Wake up wake up oh my good master why snore you there so loud[00:06:22]

There's not a *****in all this land but has clapped his wings and crowed[00:06:27]

Jack O'Rion took the fiddle into his hand and he fiddled and he played so merrily[00:06:34]

He's off away to the lady's house as fast as go could he[00:06:40]

And when he came to the lady's door he twirled so softly at the pin[00:09:03]

Saying Oh my dear it's your true love rise up and let me in[00:09:10]

She said Surely you didn't leave behind a golden brooch nor a velvet glove[00:09:18]

Or are you returning back again to taste more of my love[00:09:25]

Jack O'Rion he swore a bloody oath by oak by ash by bitter thorn[00:09:52]

Lady I never was in your house since the day that I was born[00:09:57]

Oh then it was your young boy Tom that cruelly has beguiled me[00:10:02]

Oh woe that the blood of that ruffian boy did spring in my body[00:10:08]

Jack O'Rion sped off to his own house saying Tom my boy come here to me[00:10:14]

He hung him from his own gatepost high as a willow tree[00:10:19]
