In the year of our lord 1239

There once lived a girl of the royal line

The ancient stories do recall

She was the fairest of them all

In the castle made of stone

Any night she slept alone

Any noise that would raise the dead

Couldn't wake her sleepyhead

Couldn't wake her sleepyhead

Couldn't wake her sleepyhead

The stranger came from the foreign land

Asking for the maiden's hand

Her father said no go away

She's gonna marry a king one day

The stranger he came back again

Riding with 10 thousand men thousand men

The battle cries filled all with dread

But couldn't wake her sleepyhead

Couldn't wake her sleepyhead

Couldn't wake her sleepyhead

The fighting lasted all day long

But the castle wall's very thick and strong

The stranger cried let her decide

Where her true affections lie

So the king knocked on her door

Only you can end this war

No one knows how the story ends

Did she ever wake again

Will she ever wake again
