FRaw Luddeley, fraw Luddeley/
 und warumb spint jr nit/
So hab ich doch kein rocken nit/
 du loser bößwicht/
auß gieng der arm man/
 bracht der frawen ein rocken hin/
 dannoch span sie nit,
 dannoch span sie nit.

Lady Luddeley, lady Luddeley
 Why are You not spinning?
I have no spinningwheel
 You fool.
 And the poor man
 went out and fethed his wife a spinningwheel
 but still she did not spinn.
