4. Then out spoke my lady:
"Have mercy on me; Though you've taken my young son's life, 0 have mercy upon me!"
5. Lady Betty was lying
In her chamber so high, When she heard her dear daddy Come riding hard by.
6. "0 Daddy, 0 Daddy,
You need not blame me, For Falseness and Lamkin Have killed your lady!"
7. Then Lamkin was hanged
On yon gallows so high, And Falseness was burned In a fire hard by.
8. Then sweetly sang the wild birds
As they soared upon high, For Falseness and Lamkin Deserved well to die.
