On the mountain stands a lady,
Who she is I do not know,
All she wants is gold and silver
All she wants is nice young man
So call in Richard
She kisses him, she cuddles him,
She sits him on her knee,
She says, My darling, will you marry me?
Yes, no, yes, no . . . (St John's Wood, London NW8, 10/71 and 1973)
