Seventh Generation Consideration

There was a king out in the east

There lived a lady in the west

This king he has a hunting gone

And left his Isabel alone

Oh I wish ye'd never gone away

For at your home is dol and wae

For the king of fairies with his dart

Has pierced your lady to the heart

Oh Orpheus you built Troy for us

With trees and stones your lyre did play

But now your lady is gone away

The fairies travelled o'er a hill

And with them was poor Isabel

This King Orpheus did see

The fairies and his lady

He rode toward the hill with speed

Twas for her his heart did bleed

He saw them enter the hill that night

In quest the king pursued their flight

Oh Orfeo, how could you have known

That while you were a hunting gone

Your lady'd be alone

And after them the king has gone

But where they were twas a gray stone

And so he took out his lyre to play

But sore his heart with dol and wae

At first he played the notes o noy

And then he played the notes o joy

And then he played god gaber reel

That might have made a sick heart heal

SOLO (CHORUS)

And while the king played all alone

A fairy came from behind the stone

He said dear king Orpheus

Please come in and play for us

And you will see your lady

And why she's gone away from thee

And if you play god gaber reel

Well You might still make her sick heart heal

Oh Orpheus can the fairies you trust

They've cast a spell on Isabel

And you must make her well

Now come ye into our hall

And come ye in among us all

Now he has gone into their hall

And he's gone in among them all

And so he took his lyre to play

But sore his heart with dol and wae

At first he played the notes o noi

And then he played the notes o joy

Oh Orpheus, play your heart through us

So he played god gabber reel

And he made her sick heart heal

Now tell us what you will have

What shall we give you for your play

What I will have I will thee tell

And that's me lady Isabel

Yes take your lady and go home

And yes be king among your own

And so he took his lady home

And now he's king among his own
