Reynardine Lyrics - Liege & Life - Fairport Convention

One evening as I rambled 

Among the leaves so green 

I overheard a young woman 

Converse with Reynardine 

Her hair was black, her eyes were blue 

Her lips as red as wine 

And he smiled to gaze upon her 

Did that sly old Reynardine 

She said, "Kind sir, be civil 

My company forsake 

For in my own opinion 

I fear you are some rake"

"Oh no," he said, "No rake am I 

Brought up in Venus train 

But I'm seeking for concealment 

All along the lonesome plain" 

"Your beauty so enticed me 

I could not pass it by 

So it's with my gun I'll guard you 

All on the mountains high" 

"And if by chance you should look for me 

Perhaps you'll not me find 

For I'll be in my castle 

Inquire for Reynardine"

Sun and dark, she followed him 

His teeth did brightly shine 

And he led her above mountains 

Did that sly old Reynardine
