Nuala Kennedy accompanied by John Doyle sings this song "translated" into English. I think you can find it on youtube. The lyrics are as follows:

The provost's own daughter was walking her way

Oh but her love was easy won

When she spied a Scots prisoner a making his mane

And she was the flower of Northumberland



"It's oh, gin the lassie would marry me"

Oh but her love was easy won

"Well I'd make her a lady of high degree

If she'd loose me out of this prison so strong"



Oh she went down to her father's bed stock

Oh but her love it was easy won

And she's taken the keys for many's the best lock

And she's loosed him out of his prison so strong



Oh she went out to her father's stable

Oh but her love it was easy won

And she's taken a horse that's both fleet and able

To carry them back to bonnie Scotland



As they were a riding across the Scot's moor

He said, "Oh but her love it was easy won

Get down from my horse, you're a brazen faced whore

Although you're the flower of Northumberland"



"Oh I have a wife in my own country

Oh but your love it was easy won

And I cannot do nothing with a lassie like thee

Although you're the flower of Northumberland"



"It's a cook in your kitchen I surely will be"

Although my love it was easy won

"For I cannot go back to my own country

Although I'm the flower of Northumberland"



"As a cook in my kitchen you never will be

Oh but your love it was easy won

For my lady, she will not have servants like thee

So go get you back to Northumberland"



But loth was he the lassie to take

Oh but her love it was easy won
So he's hired an old horse and he's hired an old man

To carry her back to Northumberland



But when she got there, her Father did frown

And said, " Oh but your love it was easy won

To go with a Scotsman when you're barely sixteen
And you' were the flower of Northumberland"



But when she got there, her mother did smile

And said, " Oh but her love it was easy won

You're not the first lassie that the Scots have beguiled

And you're still the fair flower of Northumberland"



"For you wouldn't want bread and you wouldn't want wine

Although your love it was easy won

And you wouldn't want silver to buy a man

And you're still the fair flower of Northumberland"
