she was a lady once of noble name, noble dame
she has a silver ring from her king
give her a nickel, take her out to dine, give her wine
comfort her if she sighs and then cries
look for her by the fountain on the road, say hello
don’t be afraid to smile and then go
and if you see her talking to herself all alone
leave her alone, her heart is at home
she was a lady once without a care, golden hair
she was the only friend of the king
may be she’ll come back and ask you for your name, noble dame
we’ll give our love to her on her way
