good king henry
and his hunting party
liked their forests dark
and their ale right hearty
bad king william
had a daughter
she ran away
but his soldiers caught her
when good king henry
heard the tale
his tears fell down
like autumn hail
he summoned his knights
and his pikemen true
and cried, good fellows
here's what we'll do
burn the forest
burn the town
but pull king william's
castle down
and save the princess
at all costs
or glory and honor
will be lost
the deer, the rabbit
the poachers and peasants
and all the other
forest's tenants
fled the wood
in streaming herds
when they heard
the good king's words
