King Henry

I wish I could have seen them live! I may still... but it's not the same :(. Ah why wasn't I born in the folk hey-day!

I love this ballad! This is up there with my favourites, the eerie violin and the haunting chanting. I love the story of this, a hideous female ghost demands that the King do whatever she commands, including killing all his animals and lying down to sleep with her. The opening stanza:

Let never a man a wooing/ that lacketh these things three/ a store of gold/ An open heart/ and full of charity

So true :P. This is how all relationships should be haha, the man doing everything the woman wants!

Haha I kid, Chivalry is it's own reward.
