Hind Horn
Young Hind Horn to the King's is gone Hey lililu and ho ho lan He fell in love with the King's daughter Jean With a hey down, hey diddle downy She gave him a gay gold ring With three bright diamonds glittering
When this ring grows pale and blue Then my love is lost to you
He hoisted his sails and went to sea Spent seven years in a far country
One day he's looked his ring upon It grew pale and it grew wan
Young Hind Horn is come to land There he met an old beggar man
What news, what news come tell to me No news but our queen's wedding day
Will you give me your old brown cap? And I'll give you my gold laced hat
Will you give me your begging weeds And I'll give you my good grey steed
The old beggar man goes dressed so fine Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And young Hind Horn like an old beggar man When he came to the king's gate He asked for drink and he asked for meat
He asked for the sake of St. Peter and Paul He asked for the sake of young Hind Horn
The bride came tripping down the stair With combs of red gold shining in her hair
With a glass of red wine in her hand To give to the poor old beggar man
And he has drunk up all the wine And into the cup he's dropped the ring
Came ye this by sea or land? Or got ye't off a dead man's hand?
I got it not by sea or land? But I got it off your very own hand
The bridegroom he comes down the stair But neither bride nor beggar was there
The bridegroom had her first to wed But young Hind Horn had her first to bed
