I Had A Kiss Of The King's Hand |
I saw him on the strand; |
He’d been so long at sea |
Come from the Isle of man |
And none to welcome him but me |
Down by the sea, knee-deep in seaweed |
I had a kiss of the King’s hand, down by the sea |
I had a kiss of the King’s hand, the King’s hand |
I had a kiss of the King’s hand, down by the sea |
I reached below his sleeve to find |
As ordinary a hand as mine |
It had four fingers and a thumb |
And a wedding band on one |
And the King, he shook me free |
And waded out to sea |
And what should come tumbling on the brine? |
A barrel of the King’s own wine |
Oh, down by the sea, knee-deep in seaweed |
I had a kiss of the King’s hand, down by the sea |
I had a kiss of the King’s hand, the King’s hand |
I had a kiss of the King’s hand, down by the sea |
I had a sip of the King’s wine, the King’s wine |
I had a sip of the King’s wine, down by the sea |
Then I fell asleep in the King’s arms, the King’s arms |
I fell asleep in the King’s arms, down by the sea |
