'Twas a normal day at the Winespring Inn and the room was full of men

All the serving girls with their sable curls were filling the mugs again

But sitting back in the corner there a Gaidin of class

Reached for a beer and he pulled her near and pinched her on the--

Singing,

Your face is fair and bonny! Come sit upon my knee!

I'll be with you for all my days if you could belong to me, my girl

You should belong to me.


The very next day at the Winespring Inn he saw a dancing maid

He gave her a smile and he talked for a while, then very blithely said:

When I see me a pretty girl I notice where she sits

Your form is fair and I love your hair and your great big massive--

Singing,

Your face is fair and bonny! Come sit upon my knee!

I'll be with you for all my days if you could belong to me, my girl

You should belong to me.


'Twas another day at the Winespring Inn. He was looking for more fun

He was on the prowl for a different gal, his other conquests won

He saw a lady at the bar. She was drinking rather quick.

"I'll pay for that!" And he tipped his hat, "If you'll sit upon my--"

Singing,

Your face is fair and bonny! Come sit upon my knee!

I'll be with you for all my days if you could belong to me, my girl

You should belong to me.


He was back again at the Winespring Inn when he saw her walking in

You've a roving eye, said his Aes Sedai, and she tapped him on his chin

It's plain to see with the ladies here you've had a lot of luck

But they cannot be near as good as me, so let's go off and--

Singing,

Your face is fair and bonny! I'll sit upon your knee

You'll be with me for all my days because you belong to me, my boy

Because you belong to me.


Oh, your face is fair and bonny! Come sit upon my knee!

I'll be with you for all your days because you belong to me, my girl

Because you belong to me.
