Late one morning a prince was born
With a look of grief in his eyes
All the people said he was just born sad
For twenty years he just hummed during the day
And cried out his nights
Till a poor young woodsman came along and finally made him laugh
When the prince became the king, he asked that woodsman to be his fool
Had no choice but to accept
To be a fool for a fool ain't so foolish if you know how to fool
But when it came time for that king to get married, he decided he was very
Fond of the young woodsman's girl
The woodsman said please don't
She's all I ever wanted in this world
You tell the king I'll be dead in a week if he takes my love away
He's got his pick of the finest young women in this land every day
But the finest of all is in love with a fool, and that's how it's gonna stay
So you tell the king he won't laugh any more if he takes my love away
If he takes my love away
The king wasn't too fond of that response
Just made him want her even more
He figured he could have her, seeing as how he was the king and all
He forgot how it was not to laugh and not to smile
He took those things for granted now
Or for a lot less than they were worth
And that woodsman he went crazy, went to join the king's army
And fight a battle in the north
Went on killing and killing and killing to fill that
Deep hole in his heart
And all the while he kept the hope alive
That their love would outlast
This war and this king and this horrible thing
That had recently come to pass
You tell the king I'll be dead in a week if he takes my love away
He's got his pick of the finest young women in this land every day
But the finest of all is in love with a fool, and that's how it's gonna stay
So you tell the king he won't laugh any more if he takes my love away
If he takes my love away
Well the king from the enemy's camp
Snuck up to him late one night
Said you join our side you can have anything you want
The woodsman he thought long and hard
And considered his pride
And by morning he came up with this conclusion
That these countries and these boundaries and territories and kings were all temporary
And his love for her was eternal
And these swords and these knives and the flesh and this blood would all weaken
And crumble under the strength of their love
So he sent a message to his old friend
You tell the king he'll be dead in a week if he takes my love away
He's got his pick of the finest young women in this land every day
But the finest of all is in love with a fool, and that's how it's gonna stay
So you tell the king he'll be dead in a week if he takes my love away
If he takes my love away, hey yeah
He won't come back here no more
Just finding all his time
Blowing away
You tell the king he'll be dead in a week if he takes my love away
He's got his pick of the finest young women in this land every day
But the finest of all is in love with a fool, and that's how it's gonna stay
So you tell the king he'll be dead in a week if he takes my love away
If he takes my love away
