The king summoned the jester
Told him make me laugh again
The jester said i can't my lord
My heart is filled with pain
you see i love the princess
And though it should not be
For i am but a simple fool
She could not marry me
The king well he was furious
And called the royal guard
Take this ****** from my sight
And hang him in the yard
The princess wept a tear and said
Please father understand
Show my love some mercy
Instead ban him from this land
The jester stood there solemn
And gave a sad reply
If i have to live without you
It is better that i die
That night upon the gallows
A figure hung so still and cold
And the princess cried a thousand tears
For a love so true and bold.
