Behind my father's house
There is a pleasant tree,
The leaves upon its boughs are green,
The fruit like gold to see.
It was a king's three daughters
Asleep beneath a tree.
The youngest said, "My sisters,
The light of day I see."
Then up and spake the eldest,
"In all the skies above,
I only see a single star
That shines to light my love.
"My love has gone to battle,
Down by the distant sea,
And if he win the battle,
His meed my love shall be."
Then up and spake the fairest
(And her sweet eyes were wet),
"Whether my knight shall win or lose,
His shall my love be yet."
So then those three fair sisters
Looked to the skies above;
"Oh, let them win, or let them lose,
Theirs always is our love."
