It was in a beautiful evening in May
(Fa-la-ladeli-la la-da)
A lady was walking a lonesome way
(Fa-la-ladeli-da)
The king and his soldiers come riding along
(Fa-la-ladeli-la la-da)
They’ve been away from home so long
(Fa-la-ladeli-da)
She was young and fair
(Faledi-dam faladi-da)
The birds were singing in the air
(Faledi-dam faladi-daa)
She was young and fair
(Faledi-dam faladi-da)
The birds were singing in the air
(Faledi-dam faladi-daa)
They suddenly stopped and they spied the maid
“Why are you walking alone so late?”
“I’m on my way from my grandma’s home”
They said “it’s a dangerous place to roam”
She was young and fair…
“So come with me to my castle grand”
He smiled at her and he kissed her hand
“There’s one condition before I agree
The thing between your legs I’d like to see”
She was young and fair…
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 realised her insidious trick
She was young and fair…
“Farewell my king you’re generous and fine
What’s been between your legs is now between mine
Farewell my 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
And then she went away
Over the hills and far away :||
