Oh fisherman, dear fisherman
Would you like to earn big pay So throw your net in the water And fish me my prince so rare And fish me my prince so rare.
He threw the net in the water
It went to the ground so deep He fished and fished Until the prince he found Until the prince he found.
The fisherman fished long
Until he found the dead So look you lovely maiden I found your prince for you I found your prince for you.
She took him into her arms
And kissed his lips so red Oh lips could you only speak So my young heart could be healed So my young heart could be healed.
She wrapped her coat around her
and jumped into the lake so green Good night my father and mother Never shall you see me again Never shall you see me again.
The bells were tolling
There was sorrow and pain for there lay two kings-children but both were oh so dead but both were oh so dead.
