[Verse 1]
Have you heard of the blind harper
How he lived in Hogmaven town?
He went down to fair England
To steal King Henry's wanton brown
First he went unto his wife
With all the haste as go could he
"This work," he said, "Will never go well
Without the help of our good grey mare"
[Verse 2]
Said she, "You take the good grey mare
She'll run o'er hills both low and high
Take the halter in your hose
Leave the foal at home with me"
He's up and went to England gone
He went as fast as go could he
And when he's got to Carlisle gate
Who should be there but King Henry?
[Verse 3]
"Come in, come in you blind harper
And of your music let me hear"
But up and said the blind harper
"I'd rather have a stable for my mare"
The king looked over his left shoulder
And he said unto his stable groom
"Go take the poor blind harper's mare
And put her beside my wanton brown"
