A Fairy Story
(Words & Music by Unknown)
In days of old when knights were bold, there lived a fearsome dragon.
And the King he was in great distress for his country's spirits flagoned.
Until there came a shining knight, he was handsome, young and charming.
And he slew the dragon with his sword with a smile that is so disarming.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny no, a smile that is so disarming.
Said the King I wish to know your name, said the knight, "Do not bother.
Yea, verily the name of a knight of the realm is the same as any other.
The King then said, "Tonight in my daughter's bed you shall take your
leisure.
And she'll reward you for your deed, with a night of exalted pleasure.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny no, with a night of exalted pleasure.
One daughter she had raven hair, a maiden young and chaste.
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight, naked to her waist.
The other daughter is so fair, she's the fairest in the town.
And she slept all night in the pale moonlight naked from her small waist
down.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny no, naked from her small waist down.
The knight he stayed for many hours inside the castle walls.
But the ending to our story dear, isn't what it seems at all.
For in neither bed of either maid was he repaid for his glory.
For he slept all night with the King instead for this is a fairy story.
With a hey and a ho and a hey nonny no, for this is a Fairy story, O.
