kate rusby - the outlandish knight lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
an outlandish knight came from the north lands
he courted a lady fair
he said he would take her to those northern lands
and there he would marry her

[verse 2]
“go fetch some of your father’s gold
and some of your mother’s fee
and two of the horses from out of the stables
where there stands thirty and three”

[verse 3]
she’s mounted on the lily white steed
and he the dapple grey
they’ve rode till they’ve come unto the seaside
three hours before it was day

[verse 4]
“light off, light off your lily white steed
deliver it unto me
six pretty maidens have i drowned here
and the seventh will surely be thee

[verse 5]
“and take off, take off your silken gowns
deliver them unto me
for i do fear that they are too fine
to rot in the salt, salt sea”
[instrumental break]

[verse 6]
“if i take off my silken gowns
then turn your back on me
for it is not fitting that such a cruel rogue
a naked woman should see

[verse 7]
“and cut away the brambles so sharp
the brambles from off the brim
for i do fear that they’ll tangle my hair
and scratch my tender skin”

[verse 8]
so he’s turned his back all on the fair maid
and leant down over the brim
she’s taken him by his slender waist
and tumbled him into the stream

[verse 9]
“lie there, lie there, you false hearted man
lie there instead of me
six pretty maidens have you drowned here
and the seventh has drowned thee”
