June Tabor - Young Waters lyrics



All about you and the wind blows cold, and the round tables begin
Oh there is come to our kings court many well favoured man.
The queen looked over the castle wall beheld both vale and down
And there she spied young Water come a riding to the town.

His footman they did run before and his horseman rode behind
A mantel of the flaming gold to keep him from the wind
Gold an honest his horse before and silver short behind
The horse young Waters rode upon was swifter than the wind.

Then up spoke a wildly lord and unto the queen says he
Tell me who has the fairest face rides in the company
Oh I seen lords and and I seen leard’s and knights of high degree
But young Waters is the fairest face that ever mine eyes did see.

Then up spoke the jealous king, an angry man was he
Oh if he’d been twice as fair she might have accepted me
But your neither lord nor leard she said, but the king that wears the crown
There is not a knight in all of Scotland but to thee bow must down

But for all she could do or say a pleased he would not be
And for the words that the queen had spoke young waters he must die
And they have taken young waters and put fetters on his feet
And they have taken young Waters and thrown him in dungeons deep

Oft have I ridden to Sterling town in the wind both and the wet
But I never rode to Sterling town with fetters on my feet
Oft have I ridden to Sterling town in the wind both and the rain
But I never rode to Sterling town never to return again

For they’ve taken to the heading hill, his young son in his cradle
And they’ve taken to the heading hill, his horse and both his saddle
And they’ve have taken to the heading hill his lady fair to see
And for the words the queen had spoke young Waters did die
