garmarna - herr mannelig (sir mannelig) lyrics

Loading...

early one morning before the sun did rise
and the birds sang their sweet song
the mountain troll proposed to the fair squire
she had a false deceitful tongue

sir mannelig, sir mannelig won’t you marry me
for all that i’ll gladly give you
you may answer only yes or no
will you do so or no

to you i will give the twelve great steeds
that graze in a shady grove
never has a saddle been mounted on their backs
nor had a bit in their mouths

to you i will give the twelve fine mills
that stand between tillo and terno
the mill stones are made of the reddest brass
and the wheels are silver+laden

to you i will give the gilded sword
that jingles from fifteen gold rings
and strike with it in battle as you will
on the battlefield you will conquer

to you i will give a brand new shirt
the l+strous best for to wear
it is not sewn with needle or thread
but crocheted of the whitest silk
gifts such as these i would gladly receive
if you were a christian woman
but i know you are the worst mountain troll
from the sp+wn of necken+ and the devil

the mountain troll ran out the door
she wailed and she shrieked so loudly
“had i gotten that handsome squire
from my torment i would be free now”

sir mannelig, sir mannelig won’t you marry me
for all that i’ll gladly give you
you may answer only yes or no
will you do so or no
