Two Magicians
She looked out of the window as white as any milk
And he looked in at the window as black as any silk
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
Though you never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in me grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
Coal black smith
A maiden I will die
She became a duck, a duck all in the stream
And he became a water dog and fetched her back again
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
Though you never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in me grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
Coal black smith
A maiden I will die
She became a star, a star all in the night
And he became a thundercloud and muffled her out of sight
So she became a rose, a rose all in the wood
And he became a bumble bee and kissed her where she stood
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
Though you never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in me grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
Coal black smith
A maiden I will die
She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white
And he became a canting priest and prayed for her by night
She became a trout, a trout all in the brook
And he became a feathered fly and caught her with his hook
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
Though you never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in me grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
Coal black smith
A maiden I will die
She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground
And he became the cold clay and smothered her all around
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
Though you never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in me grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
Coal black smith
A maiden I will die
And he looked in at the window as black as any silk
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
Though you never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in me grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
