The k^Cing has ^Gbeen a priso^Dner, And a pr^Amisoner long in ^CSpain, And ^GWillie ^Emof the W^Ginsbur^Bmy Has ^Emlain long with his ^Gdaughter at ^Chome.

[Refrain]

"What a^Cils you, what ^Gails you, my daughter ^DJanet, That you l^Amook so pale and ^Cwan? Oh, ha^Gve you h^Emad any ^Gsore sic^Bmkness Or y^Emet been sle^Geping with a ma^Cn?"

[Verse 2]

"No, I h^Cave not ^Ghad any sore sic^Dkness, Nor ^Amyet been sleeping with a m^Can. But it ^Gis for ^Emyou, my ^Gfather ^Bmdear, For ^Embiding so ^Glong in Spa^Cin."

[Refrain]

"Cast o^Cff, cast ^Goff your berry-brown g^Down, And stand n^Amaked upon the ^Cstone, That ^GI may k^Emnow you^G by your^Bm shape, If y^Emou be a ma^Giden or no^Cne."

[Verse 3]

And s^Che's cast ^Goff her berry-brown g^Down And stood n^Amaked upon the s^Ctone Her a^Gpron was l^Emow and her ^Ghaunches were r^Bmound, Her s^Emkin was pa^Gle and wa^Cn.

[Refrain]

"Oh, w^Cas it with a ^Glord or a duke or a ^Dknight, Or a m^Aman of birth and ^Cfame, Or w^Gas it with ^Emone of my ^Gserv^Bming men Who's ^Emlately come ^Gout of ^CSpain?"

[Verse 4]

"No, it w^Casn't with a ^Glord or a duke or a ^Dknight, Nor a m^Aman of birth and f^Came, But it ^Gwas with W^Emillie of ^GWins^Bmbury, I could ^Embide no ^Glonger a^Clone."

[Refrain]

Now the k^Cing has ^Gcalled on his merry men ^Dall, By t^Amhirty and by ^Cthree, Says, "F^Getch me this ^EmWillie of ^GWinsb^Bmury, For h^Emanged he^G shall b^Ce."^C

But ^Cwhen he ^Gcame the king be^Dfore, He was ^Amclad all in the red ^Csilk. His h^Gair was l^Emike the g^Golden s^Bmtrands, His s^Emkin was as whi^Gte as the mi^Clk.

[Refrain]

And "It i^Cs no ^Gwonder," said the ^Dking, "That my ^Amdaughter's love you did^C win. For if ^GI were a ^Emwoman, a^Gs I am ^Bma man, My ^Embedfellow ^Gyou would have ^Cbeen."

[Verse 5]

"Oh w^Cill you ^Gmarry my daughter J^Danet, By the t^Amruth of your right h^Cand? Oh, w^Gill you m^Emarry my ^Gdaughter ^BmJanet? I'll m^Emake you the l^Gord of my la^Cnd."

[Refrain]

"Oh y^Ces, I will ^Gmarry your daughter J^Danet. By the t^Amruth of my right ^Chand. Why y^Ges, I will m^Emarry your ^Gdaughter ^BmJanet, But I'll ^Emnot be the lor^Gd of your la^Cnd."

And he's mo^Cunted her ^Gon a milk-white ^Dsteed, And hi^Ammself on a dapple ^Cgrey. He has m^Gade her the ^Emlady of as ^Gmuch ^Bmland As she shall r^Emide on a war^Gm summer's ^Cday^C. ^C ^G
