Wishing Chair - Bonny La** of Anglesey lyrics

There he sits and there he stands Oh, what a frightend king is he Fifteen lords have all come down To dance his gold and his lands away There he stands at the castle high So loud, so loud I heard him cry Saddle your horse and bring to me The bonny la** of Anglesey There he stands at the castle high And so loud, so loud, I heard him cry Go saddle your horse and bring to me The bonnie la** of Anglesey Some rode North and some rode South But some to the East rode straightway Saw her there on the mountain high The bonnie la** of Anglesey Up she starts as white as the milk Between the king and all of his company What is the prize I have to ask If I do gain the victory Fifteen plows, a house and a mill I will give to thee till the day thou dies The fairest knight in all my court For your husband for to be Fifteen plows, a house, and a mill Come now, that's no prize for the victory And there is no knight in all your court That shall have me as a wife to be Up she starts as white as the milk She dances light as a leaf on the broken sea Fifteen lords all cried out loud For the bonnie la** of Anglesey She's taken fourteen, one by one Saying, sweet kind sir, will you dance with me But e'er it's ten o'clock at night They gave it o'er right shamefully But up and rose the fifteenth knight And o, what an angry man was he My feet will be my d**h E're she gains the victory He laid aside his buckler and sword And he strode, he strode so manfully But e'er it's ten o'clock of the morn He gave it o'er right shamefully She's taken all their bucklers and swords She's taken their gold and their bright money And back to the mountains she's away The bonnie la** of Anglesey Fifteen lords come a swaggering down For to dance and gain the victory Fifteen lords and one high king Go ragged and bare today
