There was a man and a woman 
Who sinned. 
Then did the man heap the punishment 
All upon the head of her, 
And went away gaily.

There was a man and a woman 
Who sinned. 
And the man stood with her. 
As upon her head, so upon his, 
Fell blow and blow, 
And all people screaming, "Fool!" 
He was a brave heart.

He was a brave heart. 
Would you speak with him, friend? 
Well, he is dead, 
And there went your opportunity. 
Let it be your grief 
That he is dead 
And your opportunity gone; 
For, in that, you were a coward.
