This song is from A song of Ice and Fire books, aka Game of Thrones on HBO. The actual meaning of the song is to draw comparisons between the books characters and the "maiden " or the "bear." The maiden hoped for a knight and was rescued by a "bear" instead, a theme paralleled by a few key plot lines in the series. The reference to hair, as previously stated here, although revelant, is not the meaning of the song in its entirety... The odds of being saved, or even falling in love with someone unattractive (black and brown and covered in hair) or undesirable, is more likely a scenario than a "knight" suddenly showing up. Things don't always turn out as they should, or how we imagine they should.
