fay hield - kemp owen كلمات الأغنية

her mother died when she was young
which gave her cause to grieve and mourn
her father married the very worst woman
that ever lived in christendom

she served her stepmother night and day
in everything that she could do
till once when in a fit of rage
she threw her over a craig of the sea

saying, “lie you there, young isabel
and all my sorrows lie with thee
till kеmp owen shall come to the craig
and brеak this spell with kisses three.”

her breath grew strong and her hair grew long
twisted three times round the tree
and all the people far and near
thought that a savage beast was she

and how she cried for kemp owen
that he might come but near to her hand
word has gone to kemp owen
that such a beast was in his land

so he has built a bonny boat
set it sailing on the sea;
but before he reached a mile from the land
the beast has set the red fire free
so he has taken up his bow
and he’s aimed an arrow at her head;
swore if she’d not quit the land
with that same shaft he would shoot her dead

“oh, i’ll not rise out of my den
though it is not for fear of thee
till kemp owen, the king’s own son
shall come to the craig and kiss with me.”

her breath was strong and her hair was long
twisted three times round the tree
and away she swam, again she came
singing, “come to the craig and kiss with me.”

“oh, i have a royal sword,” she said
“that i found in the salt, salt sea
and while your body it is on
drawn shall your blood never be
but if you’ll touch me tail or fin
i swear this sword your death shall be.”

he leaned him over eastmoor craig
and about the tree she came with a swing
he stepped in, gave her a kiss
and the royal sword he has brought with him
her breath was strong and her hair was long
twisted twice about the tree
and away she swam, again she came
singing, “come to the craig and kiss with me.”

“oh, i have a royal belt,” she said
“that i found in the salt, salt sea
and while your body it is on
drawn shall your blood never be
but if you’ll touch me tail or fin
i swear your death this belt shall be.”

he leaned him over eastmoor craig
and about the tree she came with a swing
he stepped in, gave her a kiss
and the royal belt he has brought with him

her breath was strong and her hair was long
twisted once about the tree
and away she swam, again she came
singing, “come to the craig and kiss with me.”

“oh, i have a royal ring,” she said
“that i found in the salt, salt sea
and while your body it is on
drawn shall your blood never be
but if you’ll touch me tail or fin
i swear this ring your death shall be.”
he leaned him over eastmoor craig
and about the tree she came with a swing
he stepped in, gave her a kiss
and the royal ring he has brought with him

her breath was sweet, her hair grew short
twisted no more round the tree
and away she swam, again she came
the fairest woman that you ever did see

“oh, was it a werewolf of the wood
was it a mermaid on the sea?
was it a man or a vile witch woman
my own true love, that misshaped thee?”

“oh, it wasn’t a werewolf of the wood
nor was it a mermaid on the sea
but it was my own stepmother
a cruel and wicked woman is she.”

“a heavy curse will light her on
her hair will grow rough, her t__th grow long
and on her four feet she will crawl
all alone condemned to be
and in the wormeswood she will dwell
and of this spell she will never go free.”
