The Two Magicians (Empty Hats) (HIM): A lady sits at her own front door Waiting on her man. By there came a lusty smith With his hammer in his hand. Saying "You are such a maiden fair, All in your robes of red. Will you take me in your arms And have me in your bed?" (HER): "Away, away you coal blacksmith What you do say is wrong. Dost thou think a lass like me Could be had for just a song?" Chorus: (BOTH): He sang, "Bide, lady, bide, Your lust for me don't hide. This dusty smith will be your love So lay aside your pride." (HER): So the lady she took out her wand, Held it high in her hand. She turned herself into a cloud, Saying, "Catch me if you can." (HIM): So the blacksmith shook his hammer And it turned to a magic stick. So he became a lightning bolt For to zap into her quick! (chorus) (HER): Then the lady she turned into a fish A-swimming in the brook. (HIM): So he became a fishing rod, For to catch her with his hook. (HER): But the lady she turned into a fly, Flew up into the air. (HIM): So he became a hairy spider For to drag her into his lair. (chorus) (HER): Then the lady she turned into a rose, A rosebush in the wood. (HIM): So he became a bumblebee For to sting her where she stood. [OUCH!] (HER): But the lady she turned into a horse Dark as the night is black. (HIM): So he became a golden saddle For to climb onto her back. (chorus) (HIM): So the lady she turned into a man, Leered upon him good. So he became a bonnie lass... (HER): And she took him where he stood!! (chorus) |
