Steeleye Span

Steeleye Span - Lady Diamond (TEXT) lyrics

Your rating:

There was a lord, a lord lived in the North Country
He was a man of wealth and fame
He only had one child, a child but only one
And Lady Diamond was her name

She did not love a lord, she did not love a king
She loved a kitchen boy, and William was his name
And though he brought her joy, he also brought her shame
And he gave his heart to Lady Diamond

"And his hair shines like gold," said Lady Diamond
"And his eyes like crystal stones," said Lady Diamond
"Bright as the silver moon" she said, "bright as the sun that shines"
"Bright as the silver moon" she said, "bright as the sun that shines"
On Lady Diamond

It was a Winter's night the lord could get no rest
To Lady Diamond's room he came
He sat down on her bed just like a wondering ghost
Now Lady Diamond tell me plain

"Do you love a lord", he said, "or do you love a king?"
"I love a kitchen boy, and William is his name
And better I love that boy than all your well-bred men
I have his heart", said Lady Diamond

Oh, where are all my men, he said, that I gave meat and fee
Go fetch the kitchen boy and bring him here to me
They dragged him from the house and hung him on a tree
And they gave his heart to Lady Diamond

"And his hair shines like gold," said Lady Diamond
"And his eyes like crystal stones," said Lady Diamond
"Bright as the silver moon" she said, "bright as the sun that shines"
"Bright as the silver moon" she said, "bright as the sun that shines"
On Lady Diamond
