paroles de chanson Reynardine (BBC Session - Top Gear 27/9/69) - Fairport Convention

One evening, as I rambled
among the leaves so green,
I overheard a young woman
converse with Reynardine.
Her hair was black,
her eyes were blue,
her lips as red as wine,
and the smile to gaze upon her
that sly old Reynardine!
She said: "Kind sir, be civil,
my company forsake,
for in my own opinion
I feel you are some rake!"
"Oh, no!", he said,"no rake am I!
Brought up in Venus' train!
But I'm seeking for concealment
all on the lonesome plain"
"Your beauty so enticed me,
I could not pass it by,
so it's with my gun I'll guard you
all on the mountains high!"
"And if, perchance, you look for me,
perhaps you not me find,
for I'll be in my castle,
enquire for Reynardine!"
Sun and dark, she followed him.
His teeth did brightly shine,
and he led her over the mountains,
that sly old Reynardine!
