And a silver circlet, and a sapphire on your shoe?

Neither blue nor sapphire I'll wear upon the King's Way;

I will go in duffle grey, and barefoot too.

Walking on the King's Way, lady, my lady,

Walking on the King's Way, will you go in green?

With a golden girdle, and a pointed velvet slipper,

And a crown of emeralds fit for a queen?

Neither green nor emerald I'll wear upon the King's Way;

I will go in duffle grey so lovely to be seen,

And Somebody will kiss me and call me his queen.
