Nina Simone - Young Knight Lyrics
Joseph hathaway, charles kingsleyDown deary downThere was a knight and he was young a-riding along the way sirAnd there he met a lady fair among the stacks of hay sirDown deary downQuote he shall you and i, lady among the grass lay down ohAnd i will take a special care of the rumpling of your gown ohSo she told himIf you will go along with me into my father's hall sirYou shall enjoy my maiden's head and my estate and all sirDown deary downSo he mounted her on a milk white steed himself upon anotherAnd then they rid upon the road like sister and like brotherDown deary down down deary downAnd when they came to father's home all moulded all about sirShe stepped straight within the gate and shut the young man out sirDown deary downHere is a pursue of gold she said take it for your pain sirAnd i will send my father's men to go home with you again sirAnd if you meet a lady fair as you go by the town sirYou must not fear the dewy grass orThe rumpling grass of her gown sirDown deary down down deary downAnd if you meet a lady gay as you go by the hill sirHere is the moral of the storyIf you will not when you may you shall not when you will sir
