Beggar, Wiseman Or Thief
(专辑: Milkwhite Sheets - 2006)
Early one day On a
Tuesday Met a
wolf king across a
plain And I
kissed him I
caressed him Will I
see you again I
shall roam far across the
land If you shan't be my husband Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman, or thief So he led her 'Cross the
river To his kingdom And back again Played a
fine lute And as night fell They returned to the
plain "Sweetest maid you are right for me Though God wills me be free Sweetest maid let a
human beau Gather roses for thee To a
wolf you cannot be wed Choose a
young man instead Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman, or thief No other I'll find I'd rather be blind Missed your eyes of robin egg blue You have caused me Much despair, Sir Since I
lay here with you To a
beggar I
shan't be wed Wisemen live in their head Dearest wolf king Thou art the
thief Who has loved me so brief And as night fell Some folks will tell She crossed a
river Down by the
plain 'Twas there the
current Held her under Never to be seen again On the
plain sprang A
red rose tree The
wolf was never so free Now he roams far across the
land Howling for his bride-to-be He shall roam far across the
land For he shan't be a
husband Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman or thief
