THE TWO MAGICIANS               Trad (Steeleye Span)


             G          D          G          C        D   G
             She looked out of the window, as white as any milk,
                 G         D         G          C        D   G
             And he looked in at the window, as black as any silk.

             Ch:
                 G     Em    C     Am      D          G
             "Hello,hello,hello,hello, you coal-black smith,
                 C         Am    D
             You have done me no harm
                                                     G      D       G
             You never shall have me maidenhead that I have kept so long
                        D     G
             I'd rather die a maid"
                                           C          Am    D
             Ah, but then she said "And be buried all in me grave

             Than to have such a nasty, husky, fusty, musty, lusty
             G                   C      D      G
             Coal-black smith: a maiden I will die!"



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


             She became a star, a star all in the night,
             And he became a thunder-cloud and muffled her out of sight.


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


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


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


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