Lady-O

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the princess had a locket And the locket had a key The princess had so many things She would not let them see So many cursed that locket Though many held the key Many is the open book With print too large to read [Chorus] And woah oh, lady-o Where do they come from And where do they go? And if you have a heart Do not let it show Woah oh, lady-o [Verse 2] Strike while the iron is hot He heard the soldiers say Marching in formation To guard the palace gate Though he had seen thosе soldiers Fall along the way They linе them up and shoot them For the heresies they say [Chorus] And woah oh, lady-o Where do they come from And where do they go? And if you have a heart Do not let it show Woah oh, lady-o [Verse 3] But he was not a soldier In his torn and ragged coat Resembling the jester He came across the moat And all the guards of kingdom come Would have let him pass With eyes that looked right through them And songs about their past [Chorus] And woah oh, lady-o Where do they come from? Where do they go? And if you have a heart Never let it show Woah oh, lady-o [Verse 4] And she had always pictured it On a sunny afternoon In some secluded forest With the flowers all in bloom It did not look at all Like this godforsaken room But the thing that's long awaited Often comes too soon [Chorus] And woah oh, lady-o Where do they come from And where do they go? And if you have a heart Do not let it show Woah oh, lady-o Woah oh, lady-o
