ok, there are a few errors with the lyrics here. it's supposed to be "Singing, 'Don't plead me, no, for I will seize you in the snow', singing, 'Don't plead me no, for I will seize you in the snow'
Then, "Henry first say Lilianne, girl of coloured hair, sitting by the river with the willows in hair, Lily sang a tune she knew, a shanty from the sea, he seized her by her little waist agains the willow tree"
"Singing, 'fair thee, Oh well, where you gone no one can tell', singing, 'fair thee, Oh well, where you gone no one can tell'.
This is a great song, but a very sad song. Some of the song's lyrics have been edited out because it gets a bit obscene. It takes place in the 1500's. A beautiful renaissance maiden princess who was raped and murdered in a forest by a wealthy royal 'comrade'. After he rapes and kills her, he just leaves her in the forest. while he was raping her, he whispered to her how she's worth a million silver pennies. such a sad, sad, song.
WOOHOO FIRST COMMENT!!!!
