Orfeo Lyrics by Anna & Elizabeth

Anna & Elizabeth

2015

[Verse 1]
There was a king lived in the east
Green the wood grows early
He loved a lady in the west
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 2]
The king of Fairy with his dart
Green the wood grows early
As pierced the lady to the heart
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 3]
The king is to the wildwood gone
Green the wood grows early
'Til he with hair is overgrown
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 4]
When he had sat for seven years
Green the wood grows early
A company to him drew near
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 5]
Some did ride and some did run
Green the wood grows early
He spied his lady, them among
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 6]
And after them the king has gone
Green the wood grows early
But when he came, 'twas a grey stone
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 7]
Then he sat em' down, for woe
Green the wood grows early
And took out his pipes to play
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 8]
The king did enter in the hall
Green the wood grows early
And there he stood among them all
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 9]
And first he played the notes of noy
Green the wood grow early
And then he played the notes of joy
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 10]
And then he played a merry reel
Green the wood grows early
That might have made a sick heart heal
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 11]
The king of Fairy then did say
Green the wood grows early
"What shall we give thee for that play"
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 12]
"For my play I will thee tell"
Green the wood grows early
"I'll have M'Lady Isabelle"
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 13]
"You take your lady and go home"
Green the wood grows early
"And you'll be king o'er all your own"
Where the hart runs yearly
[Verse 14]
He took his lady and went home
Green the wood grows early
And he was king o'er all his own
Where the hart runs yearly
