The Princess In The Tower: Children's Ballad

1st Verse:

Once there was a princess

locked up in a tower

by a very wicked witch

with dark, magical power.

 

And she sobbed

and she sobbed

and she sobbed

and she sobbed,

“Won’t somebody save me.

‘Cause if they would, I’d marry them

whoever they may be”.

 

2nd Verse:

 

Then there came a hero;

a knight in shining armour.

He said, “I’ll save that princess

from those who’d try to harm her”.

 

And he rode

and he rode

and he rode

and he rode

for ten whole nights and days,

crying, “Fear not, my princess

for your hero’s on his way”.

 

3rd Verse:

 

Then he came to the tower

where the princess was held

but, with her evil power,

the witch cast a magic spell.

 

With a flash

and a crash

and a puff

of black smoke

she grew giant in size;

breathing fire from her jaws

and shooting lightning from her eyes.

 

4th Verse:

 

But the hero, he fought on

with fearsome bravery .

He said, “I shall not give up

till my princess is set free”.

 

And he fought

and he fought

and he fought

and he fought

till the evil witch fell down;

he drove his sword through her jet black heart

and she came crashing to the ground.

 

 

5th Verse:

 

Then he freed the princess

from that evil tower.

“Oh princess”, he said, “You’re just

as lovely as a flower”.

 

And they kissed

and they smiled

and they laughed

and they danced

deep in love as two can be;

then that princess and her handsome prince

lived, forever, happily.
