Isobel Campbell lyrics : "Beggar Wiseman Or Thief"

Early one day
On a Tuesday
Met a wolf king across a plain

And I kissed him
I caressed him
Will I see you again

I shall roam far across the land
If you shan't be my husband


Beggar, wiseman
Beggar, wiseman
Beggar, wiseman, or thief


So he led her
'Cross the river

To his kingdom
And back again
Played a fine lute

And as night fell
They returned to the plain
"Sweetest maid you are right for me

Though God wills me be free
Sweetest maid let a human beau
Gather roses for thee

To a wolf you cannot be wed
Choose a young man instead


Beggar, wiseman
Beggar, wiseman
Beggar, wiseman, or thief


No other I'll find
I'd rather be blind

Missed your eyes of robin egg blue
You have caused me
Much despair, Sir

Since I lay here with you
To a beggar I shan't be wed
Wi!@&( live in their head

Dearest wolf king
Thou art the thief
Who has loved me so brief


And as night fell
Some folks will tell

She crossed a river
Down by the plain
'Twas there the current

Held her under
Never to be seen again


On the plain sprang
A red rose tree
The wolf was never so free

Now he roams far across the land
Howling for his bride-to-be
He shall roam far across the land

For he shan't be a husband

Beggar, wiseman

Beggar, wiseman
Beggar, wiseman or thief
