The Lord’s Fair Daughter

The Lord’s Fair Daughter [Verse 1] Oh, the lord’s fair daughter, with hair so gold, Her beauty’s a treasure, worth more than coin untold! She walks through the village, with grace and charm, The lads lose their wits, she sets off alarms! [Chorus] So toss me a coin, or give me a drink, For tales of the daughter will make your heart sink! A smile from her lips? It’s a dangerous game— But her father’s wrath, oh, that’s worse than shame! [Verse 2] Her father’s a tyrant, with a glare like a blade, But his daughter’s mischief is perfectly played. She smiles at the stable boy, winks at the smith, The butcher’s son faints when she blows him a kiss! [Chorus] So toss me a coin, or buy me some ale, For tales of her antics, I’m happy to regale! But keep your hands off, don’t make a mistake— The last lad who tried now swims in the lake! [Verse 3] They say she’s been promised to a duke or a prince, But she’s sneaking to town and has been ever since. The baker’s been blushing, the brewer’s been cursed, And the bard—you’re looking at him—well, I might’ve been first! [Chorus] So toss me a coin, I’m needing some cheer, For telling her secrets, her dad’ll tan my rear! But who can resist such a devilish grin, From the lord’s fair daughter, with mischief within? [Bridge] Now, don’t look at me, I’m just the bard! Playing my hurdy, not working too hard. If you’ve got a spare coin, a morsel, or two, I’ll sing you her stories all night for your brew! [Verse 4] Oh, the lord’s fair daughter, she’s trouble for sure, A smile from her lips, there’s no known cure. But I’ll take my chances, I’ll sing and I’ll play, For a wink from her eye makes a bard’s whole day! [Final Chorus] So toss me a coin, or a drink if you’ve got, For singing of beauty and tales that are hot! The lord’s fair daughter, a maid so divine, But don’t tell her dad, or this bard’s out of time!
