I Had a Kiss of the King's Hand Lyrics & Tabs by Alasdair Roberts
I Had a Kiss of the King's Hand
guitar chords lyrics
I saw him on the strand;
he'd been so long at sea.
Come from the Isle of man,
and none to welcome him but me.
Down by the sea, knee-deep in seaweed,
I had a kiss of the King's hand, down by the sea.
I had a kiss of the King's hand, the King's hand,
I had a kiss of the King's hand, down by the sea.
I reached below his sleeve to find
As ordinary a hand as mine.
It had four fingers and a thumb,
And a wedding band on one.
And the King, he shook me free,
And waded out to sea.
And what should come tumbling on the brine?
And the King, he shook me free,
And waded out to sea.
And what should come tumbling on the brine?
A barrel of the King's own wine.
Oh, down by the sea, knee-deep in seaweed,
I had a kiss of the King's hand, down by the sea.
I had a kiss of the King's hand, the King's hand,
I had a kiss of the King's hand, down by the sea.
I had a sip of the King's wine, the King's wine,
I had a sip of the King's wine, down by the sea.
Then I fell asleep in the King's arms, the King's arms,
I fell asleep in the King's arms, down by the sea.
