The Fool

She mounted upon her lily white steed

And he on his dapple grey

They rode 'til they came unto the seaside

Three hours before it was day

"Light off, light on, thy lily white steed

Deliver it up unto me

For six pretty maidens I have drowned here

And thou the seventh shall be"

He turned around, his back to her

And bent down over the brim

She caught him around the middle so small

And bundled him into the stream

"Lie there, lie there, you false-hearted man

Lie there instead of me

For six pretty maidens as thou are drowned here

The seventh have drowned thee"
