Several versions above are very close, but these are the exact lyrics from Time & Tune, Autumn 1972.
SLEEPING BEAUTY
On the christening day of a child princess, Most beautiful ever seen, Came a party of guests to the palace feast By order of king and queen. Six good fairies danced for her, Weaved their magic spell, Gave the child their wondrous gifts, Wished the princess well.
But a wicked old witch they did not invite Was angered to prophesy That the tiniest prick on her finger-tip Would cause the princess to die. One good fairy had saved her wish, Soothed the royal tears, Gently should that princess child Sleep a hundred years.
When the years had passed by, came a handsome prince Like dawn on a summer day, To arouse the princess from her magic dream And make all the castle gay. Violins and oboes played Songs of olden times. Sleeping Beauty and her Prince Danced to wedding chimes.
