|
Oh she looked out of the window |
|
As white as any milk |
|
But he looked in the window |
|
As black as any silk |
|
"Hello hello hello hello |
|
Hello you coal black smith |
|
Oh what is your silly song? |
|
You shall never change my maiden name |
|
That I have kept so long |
|
I'd rather die a maid, yes" |
|
But then she said |
|
"And be buried in my grave, yes" |
|
And then she said |
|
"That I'd have such a nasty |
|
Husky, dusky, musty, funky |
|
Coal black smith, |
|
A maiden will I die" |
|
Then she became a duck |
|
A duck all on the stream |
|
And he became a water dog |
|
And fetched her back again |
|
Then she became a hare |
|
A hare all on the plain |
|
And he became a greyhound dog |
|
And fetched her back again |
|
Then she became a fly |
|
A fly all in the air |
|
And he becamee a spider |
|
And fetched her to his lair |
|
And she became a corpse, |
|
A corpse all In the ground |
|
And he became the cold grey clay |
|
And smothered her all around |
