Steeleye Span Gulliver Gentle And Rosemary
Gulliver, Gentle and Rose Marie
There were three ladies playing at ball
Gulliver, Gentle and Rose-Marie
There came three Knights looked over the wall
Sing "Oh the red rose and the pure white lily"
The first young Knight was clothed in red
Oh the rose the blood red rose
He said "Gentle lady will you me wed?"
Oh the red rose and the pure white lily
The second young Knight was clothed in blue
Oh the rose the blood red rose
He said "To my love I will be true"
Oh the red rose and the pure white lily
The third young Knight was clothed in green
Oh the rose the blood red rose
He said "Fair maiden will you be my Queen"
Oh the red rose and the pure white lily
There were three ladies playing at ball
Gulliver, Gentle and Rose-Marie
There came three Knights looked over the wall
Sing "Oh the red rose and the pure white lily"
The lady spoke to the Knight in red "with you Sir Knight I never can wed"
The lady spoke to the Knight in blue she said "little faith I have in you"
The lady spoke to the Knight in green she said " 'tis a court you must seek for a queen"
The three young Knights then rode away
The ladies laughed and went back to their play
The ladies laughed and went back to their play
The three young Knights then rode away
There were three ladies playing at ball
Gulliver, Gentle and Rose-Marie
There came three Knights looked over the wall
Sing
"Oh the red rose and the pure white lily"
"Oh the red rose and the pure white lily"
"Oh the red rose and the pure white lily"
