There were two kings-children
Who loved each other dear
They could not come together
The water was way too deep
The water was way too deep.
If you could swim my sweetheart
So swim over here to me
Three candles I will light
They should shine for you
They should shine for you.
This heard a wicket nun
Who pretended to be asleep
Then blew out the candles
And the prince drowned so deep
And the prince drowned so deep.
It was on a Sunday morning
The folks were glad today
Except for the little princess
She wept her eyes so red
She wept her eyes so red.
Oh mother dearest mother
My head pains me so much
I would like to walk with pleasure
To the lake so green and wet
To the lake so green and wet.
The Mother went to chapel
The daughter walked away
She walked and walked
Until she found the fisherman
Until she found the fisherman.
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.
