My lady may I have this dance
                     
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
                     
My lady may I have this dance
                       
And lady may I have your name

               
You danced upon a soldiers arm
                       
And I felt the blade of love so keen
                            
And when you smiled you did me harm
                          
And I was drawn to you, my queen

                                    
Now these boots may take me where they will
                      
Though they may never shine like his
                            
There is no knight I would not kill
                       
To have my ladys hand to kiss

                     
Yes and they did take me through the hall
                    
To leave me not one breath from you
                         
And they fell silent one and all
                              
And you could see my heart was true

                          
Then I did lead you from the hall
                
And we did ride upon the hill
                  
Away beyond the city wall
                        
And sure you are my lady still
              
A night in summer long ago
                       
The stars were falling from the sky
                             
And still, my heart, I have to know
                         
Why do you love me, lady, why?
