Songtexte Captain Wedderburn - Bellowhead

The Earl of Rosslyn's daughter
Walked through the woods alone
When by came Captain Werdaban
A servant of the king
He said unto his servant man
Were it not against the law
I'd take her into my own bed
And lie her next to the wall
So he jumped off his mount, white steed
And he set the lady on
And all the way he walked on foot
And he held her by the hands
He held her by the middle of the waist
For fear that she would fall
Before they'd lie in one bed
And she'd lie next to the wall
But said the pretty lady
Before you be perplexed
It's you must answer questions yet
And that is question six
It's question six you must tell me
And that is three times twa
Before I'll lie in your bed
At either Stockholm or
Oh, what is greener than the grass?
What is higher than the trees?
Oh, what is worse than a woman's voice?
What is deeper than the seas?
What was the first bird that did crow?
And what did first and fore
Before I'll lie in your bed
At either Stockholm or
Oh envy's greener than the grass
And it's higher than the trees
The devil is worse than a woman's voice
Hell is deeper than the seas
The cock was the first bird that did crow
And the duke did first and fore
So we'll both lie in one bed
And you'll lie next to the wall
Oh, little did that lady think
That morning when she rose
That this would be the very last
Of all her maiden days
And in the cottage where they live
They're the happiest pair of all
And they both lie in one bed
And she lies next to the wall
