Demon Lover |
| Where have you been my long lost love |
| This seven long years and more |
| Seeking gold for thee my love |
| And riches of great store |
| I might have married a king’s daughter |
| Far far beyond the sea |
| But I refused the golden crown |
| All for the love of thee |
| What have you to keep me with |
| If I with you should go |
| If I forsake my husband dear |
| And my young son also |
| Chorus I’ll show you where the white lilies grow |
| On the banks of Italy |
| I’ll show you where the white fishes swim |
| At the bottom of the sea |
| Seven ships all on the sea |
| The eighth brought me to land |
| With four and twenty mariners |
| And music on every hand |
| She set her foot upon the ship |
| No mariners could behold |
| The sails were of the shining silk |
| The masts of beaten gold |
| Oh what are you high hills |
| The sun shines sweetly in |
| Those are the hills of heaven my love |
| Where you will never win |
| What is that mountain yonder there |
| Where evil winds do blow |
| Yonder’s the mountain of hell he cried |
| Where you and I must go |
| He took her up to the top mast high |
| To see what he could see |
| He sunk the ship in a flash of fire |
| To the bottom of the sea |
