People dancing around a fire colours in the air Won't you come my love to the country fair? Kings will come from everywhere caskets full of gold Yeomen from the South Rich men from the North They're coming hoping to win the bride The king's daughter pretty as A fairy tale lovely as the first of May Pure as a Spring she's in love with this young boy from the village But her father is a king wanted her to be the queen live in the glory? Night is covering the sky wide and full of pride here the winner Comes looking for the bride servants looking everywhere but she Can't be found she's running with her love she left behind the crown The soldiers, holding up the fires, Cry in the forest wishing not to find them there not to find them Anywhere the king wants them dead but their fate Was to die In the forest where they first made love By the river of their own keeping their promise
