Seven long years have I served the king Long and lonely Though I ne'er got sight of his daughter, but once Lovely one and only... I saw her through a whummil bore Long and lonely Though I ne'er got sight of her no more Lovely one and only... Two were putting on her gown Long and lonely And ten were stitching pins therein Lovely one and only... Two were fitting her shoes so neat Long and lonely And two were buckling them so sweet Lovely one and only... Five were combing down her hair Long and lonely But I ne'er got sight of her no more Lovely one and only... Her neck and breast were like the snow Long and lonely But then from the bore, I was forced to go Lovely one and only... Lovely one and only... Lovely one and only...
