katy j pearson - willie of winsbury lyrics
[verse 1]
the king has been a prisoner
and a prisoner long in spain
and willie of the winsbury
has lain long with his daughter at home
[verse 2]
what ails, what ails, my daughter?
that you look so pale and wan
oh, have you had the sickness
or been sleeping with a man
[verse 3]
cast off, cast off your berry_brown gown
stand naked on the stone
so i may know you by your shape
you can be a maiden or no
[verse 4]
was it with a lord, a duke or knight
or a man of birth and fame
or was it with one of my serving men
lately out of spain?
[verse 5]
now the king has called on his merry men
by thirty and by three
fetch me this willie of winsbury
for hanged he shall be
[verse 6]
but when he came the king before
he was clad all in red silk
his hair was like hooden strands
his skin was as white as milk
[verse 7]
“it is no wonder” said the king
that my daughter’s love you did win
for if i were a woman
my bedfellow you would have been
[verse 8]
oh, will you marry my daughter
by the truth of your right hand
oh yes, i will marry your daughter
but i’ll not be the lord of your land
[verse 9]
he’s mounted her on a milk_white steed
and himself on a dapple grey
he made her the lady of as much land
she shall ride in a long summer’s day
