Two Magicians Lyrics - Live At A Distance - Steeleye Span

She looked out of the window as white as any milk 

And he looked in at the window as black as any silk 

Hello, hello, hello, hello, you coal blacksmith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long 

I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal blacksmith, 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 

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long, I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal blacksmith, a maiden, I will die 

She became a star, a star all in the night 

And he became a thundercloud 

And muffled her out of sight 

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal black smith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long, I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal black smith, a maiden, I will die 

She became a rose, a rose all in the wood 

And he became a bumble bee 

And kissed her where she stood 

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long, I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal blacksmith, a maiden, I will die 

She became a nun, a nun all dressed in white 

And he became a canting priest 

And prayed for her by night 

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long, I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal blacksmith, a maiden, I will die 

She became a trout, a trout all in the brook 

And he became a feathered fly 

And caught her with his hook 

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long, I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal blacksmith, a maiden, I will die 

She became a corpse, a corpse all in the ground 

And he became the cold clay and smothered her all around 

Hello, hello, hello, hello you coal blacksmith 

You have done me no harm 

You never shall have my maidenhead 

That I have kept so long, I'd rather die a maid 

Ah, but then she said and be buried all in my grave 

Than to have such a nasty, husky, dusky, fusky, musky 

Coal blacksmith, a maiden, I will die
