They played, they played golden dice. And the first golden die that rolled across the table The good boatman lost and the pretty maid won. They played, they played golden dice. I will now wager my blue sailor's coat. And I my maidenhead, which you will never get. They played, they played golden dice. And the sixth golden die that rolled across the table, The pretty maid lost and the clever boatman won. They played, they played golden dice. I don't want a boatman who looks like you. I am a king's son of England. They played, they played golden dice. (This version was performed by Lena Willemark and Ale Möller on their CD "Nordan".) |

I also deleted the Å from the thread title, because special characters like that tend to cause us problems in thread titles (not the the message title and song text remain the same. -Joe Offer- |
