The Young Knight (Live at Carnegie Hall|2004 Remaster) - Nina Simone
Down deary down
There was a knight and he was young a riding
Along the way sir
And there he met a lady fair
Among the stacks of hay sir
Down deary down
Do do do do do do do
Quote he shall you and I
Lady among the grass lay down oh woo woo woo
And I will take a special care of the
Rumpling of your gown oh
So she told him
If you will go along with me
Into my father's hall sir
You shall enjoy my maiden's head
And my estate and all sir
Down deary down
So he mounted her on a milk white
Steed himself upon another
And then they rid upon the road
Like sister and like brother
Down deary down down deary down
And when they came to father's home
All moulded all about sir
She stepped be straight within the gate
And shut the young man out sir
Down deary down
Do do do do do do do
Here is a pursue of gold
She said take it for your pain sir
And I will send my father's men to
Go home with you again sir
And if you meet a lady fair as you go
By the town sir
You must not fear the dewy grass or
The rumpling of her gown sir
Down deary down deary down
And if you meet a lady gay as you go
By the hill sir
Here is the moral of the story
If you will not when you may you shall not
When you will sir
