The king has been a prisoner,[00:00:11]

And a prisoner long in Spain,[00:00:18]

And Willie of the Winsbury,[00:00:23]

Has lain long with his daughter at home.[00:00:29]

"What ails you, what ails you, my daughter Janet,[00:00:35]

Why you look so pale and wan?[00:00:41]

Oh, have you had any sore sickness[00:00:47]

Or yet been sleeping with a man?"[00:00:53]

"I have not had any sore sickness,[00:00:59]

Nor yet been sleeping with a man.[00:01:05]

It is for you, my father dear,[00:01:11]

For biding so long in Spain."[00:01:17]

"Cast off, cast off your berry-brown gown,[00:01:23]

You stand naked upon the stone,[00:01:29]

That I may know you by your shape,[00:01:35]

If you be a maiden or no."[00:01:41]

And she's cast off her berry-brown gown[00:01:47]

She stood naked upon the stone[00:01:53]

Her apron was low and her haunches were round,[00:01:59]

Her face was pale and wan.[00:02:05]

"Oh, was it with a lord or a duke or a knight,[00:02:10]

Or a man of birth and fame,[00:02:17]

Or was it with one of my serving men[00:02:22]

That's lately come out of Spain?"[00:02:29]

"It wasn't with a lord, nor a duke or a knight,[00:02:34]

Nor a man of birth and fame,[00:02:40]

But it was with Willie of Winsbury,[00:02:46]

I could bide no longer alone."[00:02:52]

And the king has called on his merry men all,[00:02:58]

By thirty and by three,[00:03:04]

Says, "Fetch me this Willie of Winsbury,[00:03:10]

For hanged he shall be."[00:03:16]

(- Instrumental verse -)[00:03:21]

But when he came the king before,[00:03:45]

He was clad all in the red silk.[00:03:52]

His hair was like the strands of gold,[00:03:57]

His skin was as white as the milk.[00:04:04]

And "It is no wonder," said the king,[00:04:09]

"That my daughter's love you did win.[00:04:16]

For if I was a woman, as I am a man,[00:04:21]

My bedfellow you would have been."[00:04:28]

"And will you marry my daughter Janet,[00:04:33]

By the truth of your right hand?[00:04:40]

Oh, will you marry my daughter Janet?[00:04:45]

I will make you the lord of my land."[00:04:52]

"Oh yes, I will marry your daughter Janet.[00:04:57]

By the truth of my right hand.[00:05:04]

Why yes, I will marry your daughter Janet,[00:05:09]

But I'll not be the lord of your land."[00:05:16]

And he's mounted her on a milk-white steed,[00:05:21]

And himself on a dapple grey.[00:05:28]

He has made her the lady of as much land[00:05:33]

As she shall ride in a long summer's day.[00:05:40]
