The King and the Fair Maid Lyrics

It was on a beautiful evening in May
Fa la la...
when a lady was walking a lonesome way
Fa la la...
The king and his soldiers came
riding along,
they'd been away from home so long.

She was young and fair,
the birds were singing in the air.

They suddenly stopped when they spied the maid.
»Why are you walking alone so late?«
»I'm on my way from my grand-
mother's home.«
He said this is a dangerous place to roam!
She was young and fair,
the birds were singing in the air.

»So come with me to my castle grand.«
He smiled at her and he kissed her hand.

»There's one condition before I agree,
there's something between your legs
I'd like to see.«

She was young and fair,
the birds were singing in the air.
The king he blushed and dismounted his horse,
he wanted to take the lady by force.

She jumped upon his horse so quick,
he soon realized her insidious trick.

She was young and fair,
the birds were singing in the air.

»Farewell, dear king, you're generous and fine,
what's been between your legs is now between mine!«
And then she went away,
over the hills and far away.
