Lily was a maiden in the castle sea |
|
They found her in the forest |
|
Where the wild willows be |

Singing, Don't plead me, no |
|
For I will seize you in the snow |

Henry first saw Lilianne |
|
The girl of coloured hair |
|
a-sitting by the river |
|
With the willows in her hair |
|
Lily sang a tune she knew, |
|
A shanty from the sea |
|
He seized her by her little waist |
|
Against the willow tree |
|
Singing fare thee, Oh well |
|
Where you gone, no one can tell |
|
Singing fare thee, Oh well |
|
Where you gone, no one can tell |
|
Oh, you are worth a million silver pennies |
|
Henry said to Lilianne |
