Lyrics : Young Waters

Oh, about Yule, when the winds blow cold
And the round tables begin
For there is come to our king's court
Many's the well-favored man
The queen looked over the castle wall
Beheld both dale and down
And there she spied Young Waters
Come a-riding to the town

His footmen they did run before
And his horsemen rode behind;
A mantle of the burning gold
Did keep him from the wind
Golden harness'd his horse before
And silver shod behind;
The horse Young Waters rode upon
Was swifter than the wind

Then up spoke a wily lord
And unto the queen says he
“Oh, tell me whose is the fairest face
Rides in the company?”
“Oh, I've seen lord and I've seen laird
And knights of high degree
But Young Waters is the fairest face
That ever my eyes did see.”
