| Song | Tripped a Beauteous Maiden |
| Artist | Boyd Rice |
| Album | Music, Martinis and Misanthropy |
| Down a winding pathway | |
| In a garden old | |
| Tripped a beauteous maiden | |
| But her heart was cold | |
| Came a prince to woo her | |
| Said he loved her true | |
| Maiden said he didn't | |
| And so he ceased to woo | |
| Came a perfumed note | |
| Dropping on one knee | |
| Said his love was deeper | |
| Than the deepest sea | |
| But the whimsed maiden | |
| Said his love was dead | |
| And the perfumed note | |
| Accepted what she said | |
| Came a dashing stranger | |
| Took her off by force | |
| Said he'd make her love him | |
| And she did | |
| Of course... |
