Whummil Bore - Steeleye Span

Seven long years have I served the king

Long and lonely

Though I ne’er got sight of his daughter, but once

Lovely one and only…

I saw her through a whummil bore

Long and lonely

Though I ne’er got sight of her no more

Lovely one and only…

Two were putting on her gown

Long and lonely

And ten were stitching pins therein

Lovely one and only…

Two were fitting her shoes so neat

Long and lonely

And two were buckling them so sweet

Lovely one and only…

Five were combing down her hair

Long and lonely

But I ne’er got sight of her no more

Lovely one and only…

Her neck and breast were like the snow

Long and lonely

But then from the bore, I was forced to go

Lovely one and only…

Lovely one and only…

Lovely one and only…
