[00:26.32]"Daughter, oh, daughter," said the king,
[00:32.43]"Why're you so pale and wan?
[00:38.66]I fear you have some sore sickness,
[00:45.99]Or else you have laid with a man."
[00:51.63]"You're welcome, you're welcome, my father dear,
[00:58.62]You are welcome home to me.
[01:04.62]For I have sick unto my heart
[01:11.49]Since you've been so long on the sea."
[01:17.65]"Cast off, cast off your berry-brown gown;
[01:24.11]Stand naked upon the stone,
[01:30.11]That I might know you by your shape
[01:37.72]Whether you be a maiden or no."
[01:43.89]So she's cast off her berry-brown gown;
[01:50.84]She's stood naked upon the stone.
[01:56.55]Her apron was low and her middle was round,
[02:03.91]Her face was pale and wan.
[02:09.83]"Oh, was it with a lord or a duke or a knight?
[02:16.79]Or a man of birth and fame?
[02:22.45]Or was it with one of my serving men
[02:30.04]That's lately come out of Spain?"
[02:35.75]"No, it wasn't with a lord nor a duke nor a knight,
[02:42.52]Nor a man of birth and fame.
[02:48.72]But it was with Willie O'Winsbury;
[02:55.70]I could bide no longer alone."
[03:01.67]The king, he has sent for his merry men all
[03:08.81]By thirty and by three,
[03:14.49]Saying, "Fetch me this Willie O'Winsbury,
[03:21.72]For hanged he shall be."
[03:27.93]But when he was brought before the king,
[03:33.36]He was clad all in red silk.
[03:39.97]His hair was like the strands of gold,
[03:47.29]His skin was white as milk.
[03:52.94]"It is no wonder," said the king,
[03:59.65]"How my daughter's love you did win,
[04:06.72]For if I was a woman as I am a man,
[04:12.27]My bedfellow you would have been.
[04:19.69]"Will you marry my daughter Janet
[04:25.59]By the truth of your right hand?
[04:32.22]And if you'll marry my daughter Janet,
[04:39.50]I will make you the lord of my lands."
[04:45.50]"Yes, I will marry your daughter Janet
[04:52.69]By the truth of my right hand,
[04:58.45]But I'll not have your gold and I'll not have your gear,
[05:06.05]And I'll not be the lord of your land.
[05:12.62]"For I have houses and I have land,
[05:18.71]I have men at my command.
[05:25.55]And were it not for your daughter fair,
[05:32.63]I would not be your servant man."
[05:39.14]He sat her upon a milk white steed
[05:45.71]And himself on a dapple gray;
[05:51.43]He has made her the lady of as much land
[05:58.92]As she can ride in a long summer's day.
