Oh, lead me to a quiet cell
Where never footfall rankles
And bar the window passing well
And gyve my wrists and ankles

Oh, wrap my eyes with linen fair
With hempen cord go bind me
And, of your mercy, leave me there
Nor tell them where to find me

Oh, lock the portal as you go
And see its bolts be double
Come back in half an hour or so
And I will be in trouble
