Текст песни Seth Lakeman — The Ballad of Midsomer County, слова из песни.
♪ Come sit by me all you
fine lords and laddies
♪ I'll tell you the tale
♪ Of young John Henry
♪ He met a fair maiden
♪ One bright May morning
♪ As he went a-hunting
♪ In Midsomer County
♪ Pale was the skin
Of the Midsomer maiden
♪ Blue eyes
♪ As blue as the sea
♪ And on her fair head
♪ Lay a garland of flowers
♪ Sweet were the roses
of Midsomer County
♪ Young men, don't stray
♪ This maiden will lead you away...
♪ Ballad Of Midsomer County
♪ She led him on through
♪ The Midsomer green wood
♪ Till they came to a hut
♪ By a juniper tree
♪ She said, "Sir, won't you...
♪ Come sit by my fire?
♪ You'll eat like a king..."
