I said I'm ready She was a lady once of noble name noble dame She has a silver ring from her king Give her a nickel take her out to dine give her wine Comfort her if she sighs and then cries Look for her by the fountain on the road say hello Don't be afraid to smile and then go And if you see her talking to herself all alone Leave her alone her heart is at home She was a lady once without a care golden hair She was the only friend of the king Maybe she'll come and ask you for your name noble dame We'll give our love to her on her way Look for her by the fountain on the road say hello Don't be afraid to smile and then go And if you see her talking to herself all alone Leave her alone her heart is at home
