Christy Moore
Folk Tale
A young man fell in love with truth
And searching the wide world for her
He found her in a small house
In a clearing in the forest
She was old and she was stooped
He pledged himself to her
To chop wood and to carry water
To collect the root the stem the leaf
And the flowering top and seed
Of every plant she'd need
To do her work
Years went by until one day
SongtexteThe young man woke up longing for a child
He went to the old woman
And he asked to be released from his oath to her
That he might return to the world
"Certainly", she said,
"On one condition"
"You must tell them that I'm young and beautiful."
"You must tell them that I'm young and beautiful."
