MMMC - The Beggar Maid Lyrics

Her arms across her breast she laid
She was more fair than words can say
Bare-footed came the beggar maid
Before the king Cophetua
In robe and crown the king stept down
To meet and greet her on her way"It is no wonder" said the lords"She is more beautiful than day"
Aah-oooooh
Aah-oooooh

As shines the moon in clouded skies
She in her poor attire was seen
One praised her ankles, one her eyes
One her dark hair and lovesome mien
So sweet a face, such angel grace
In all that land had never been
Cophetua swore a royal oath"This beggar maid shall be my queen!"
Aah-oooooh
Aah-oooooh

So sweet a face, such angel grace
In all that land had never been
Cophetua swore a royal oath"This beggar maid shall be my queen!"

So sweet a face, such angel grace
In all that land had never been
Cophetua swore a royal oath"This beggar maid shall be my queen!"

Aah-oooooh
Aah-oooooh

This beggar maid shall be my queen.
