There was a king a glorious king, a king of noble fame,
G D
and he had daughters only one, lady diamond was her name.

She's got a smile that it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories

where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky

she loved him long she loved him high, till the grass overgrew the corn
