Woodcutters Daughter Lyrics

[Chorus]
She charmed the fish
From the water
And left me to
Cradle my head

I kissed the
Woodcutters daughter
But I long for
Your loving instead
Oh, I long for
Your loving instead

[Verse 1]
Suitor, he carried
The torch for thee
Wanted, impeded
By love

Fair maiden's prayer
He was answering
But another
Claimed her love

[Bridge]
When God forebode
Beelzebub rose
And I suppose
That was the day Jesus wept

[Chorus]
She charmed the fish
From the water
And left me to
Cradle my head

I kissed the Woodcutters daughter
But I long for
Your loving instead
Oh, I long for
Your loving instead

[Verse 2]
Boots that were battered
By rambling
Breaches frayed
At the knees

Floundering out
Into make believe
One guinea infinite seal

[Bridge]
When God forebode
Beelzebub rose
And I suppose
That was the day Jesus went

[Outro]
The sun set
Upon the water
My breast bone a hearty old pain

I kissed the
Woodcutters daughter
But I long for
Your loving in vain
Oh, I long for
Your loving in vain
