Fairport Convention - "Reynardine" lyrics
*** Complimentary Reynardine Ringtone ***
One evening as I rambled
Among the leaves so green
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
I overheard a young woman
Converse with Reynardine
Her lips as red as wine
She said, "Kind sir, be civil
Did that sly old Reynardine
And he smiled to gaze upon her
My company forsake
I fear you are some rake"
For in my own opinion
Brought up in Venus' train
Among the leaves so green
Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
I overheard a young woman
Converse with Reynardine
Her lips as red as wine
She said, "Kind sir, be civil
Did that sly old Reynardine
And he smiled to gaze upon her
My company forsake
I fear you are some rake"
For in my own opinion
Brought up in Venus' train
But I'm seeking for concealment
"Oh no," he said, "no rake am I
All along the lonesome plain"
"Your beauty so enticed me
So it's with my gun I'll guard you
I could not pass it by
All on the mountains high"
"And if by chance you should look for me
Perhaps you'll not me find
Inquire for Reynardine"
For I'll be in my castle
Sun and dark, she followed him
His teeth did brightly shine
And he led her up a-the mountains
Did that sly old Reynardine
"Oh no," he said, "no rake am I
All along the lonesome plain"
"Your beauty so enticed me
So it's with my gun I'll guard you
I could not pass it by
All on the mountains high"
"And if by chance you should look for me
Perhaps you'll not me find
Inquire for Reynardine"
For I'll be in my castle
Sun and dark, she followed him
His teeth did brightly shine
And he led her up a-the mountains
Did that sly old Reynardine
