  • 1 In the year of our Lord, 1239 There once lived a girl of a royal line The ancient stories do recall She was the fairest of them all In a castle made of stone Every night she slept alone Any noise that would raise the dead Couldn't wake her sleepy head 4 A stranger came from a foreign land Asking for the maiden's hand Her father said, 4 No, go away, she is going to marry a king one day.

  • The stranger came back again Riding with ten thousand men Her battle cries filled all with dread Couldn't wake her sleepy head 5 The fight lasted all day long, but the castle walls were thick and strong.

  • The stranger cried, Let her decide where her true affections lie.

  • So the king knocked on her door, Only you can end this war.

  • No one knows how the story ends.

  • Did she ever wake again?

  • Will she ever wake again?
