Кажется, Pentangle эту странную песню трогательнее всех исполнили:

And the king has called on his merry men all,
By thirty and by three,
Says, "Fetch me this Willie of Winsbury,
For hanged he shall be."

But when he came the king before,
He was clad all in the red silk.
His hair was like the strands of gold,
His skin was as white as the milk.

And "It is no wonder," said the king,
"That my daughter's love you did win.
For if I was a woman, as I am a man,
My bedfellow you would have been."

Как просто у людей все тогда было, жуть.
