"Two Magicians" lyrics - STEELEYE SPAN

She looked out of the window as white as any milk
And he looked in at the window as black as any silk

[Chorus:]
Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith
You have done me no harm
You never shall have my maidenhead
That I have kept so long
I'd rather die a maid
Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave
Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky
Coal black smith
A maiden I will die

[Chorus]

She became a duck, a duck all on the stream
And he became a water dog and fetched her back again

[Chorus]

She became a star, a star all in the night
And he became a thundercloud and muffled her out of sight

[Chorus]

She became a rose, a rose all in the wood
And he became a bumble bee and kissed her where she stood

[Chorus]

She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white
And he became a canting priest and prayed for her by night

[Chorus]

She became a trout, a trout all in the brook
And he became a feathered fly and catched her with his hook

[Chorus]

She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground
And he became a the cold clay and smothered her all around

[Chorus]
