Down To The Water Lyrics - Singles - Helldorado

One fine and pleasant day 

I went down to the water 

And on the banks I came upon 

the rich farmer's handsome daughter 

She was young and in her prime 

and in a red dress she did pose 

All on that sacred ground 

she looked just like a rose 

I sat down by her side 

and put my hand upon her knee 

I kindly asked her if she would 

ride along to the mountains free 

"Kind sir, if I should ride with you 

there's one thing I must tell 

If my father finds out, 

he will make your life a hell" 

As I was riding the very next day 

Through the fields of her old man's farm 

I was stopped by two male servants 

and one of them grabbed my arm 

"Tell us sir, where are you bound?" 

"I'm bound for the waterside" 

"Tell us sir, what's there to be found?" 

"The farmers daughter who shall be my bride" 

"Get out of here you little gypsy boy!" 

That girl shall never be your bride, 

cause she's a lady of noble kin, 

and along with thieves she will never ride" 

Well I cursed those servants 

and pulled my dagger out 

Their hearts were stabbed by a blade of steel 

The whole valley could hear them shout
