Three Note Ballad Words and music by Lynn Gold © 2006Am There was a king named Seamus Em Am He ruled across the land Am He was a gentle ruler Dm And he ruled with a gentle hand Am His daughter, Princess Daphne E Was lovely and very smart Am She would marry whichever suitor E Am Could somehow win her heart. E,Am All the young men tried... (4x) Prince Wilferd went to visit King Seamus in his lair He saw the Princess Daphne And fell for her chestnut hair The lovely Princess Daphne Had one small, teensy quirk She liked men who were smart and gentle And Wilferd was a jerk Princess Daphne sighed...

(4x) King Seamus saw his daughter Grasped in the dragon's claws Prince Wilferd asked King Seamus If he would make a law If someone rescued Daphne Then Daphne they would wed So Prince Wilferd attacked the dragon And it bit off his head And Prince Wilferd died... (4x) King Seamus was despondent He'd try most anything A unicorn then trotted Nearby the distraught king The missing Princess Daphne Was soon to be a snack So King Seamus rode the magic steed The dragon, he'd attack And King Seamus tried...
