Sleepyhead

In the year of our lord twelve thirty nine There once lived a girl of a royal line The ancient stories do recall She was the fairest of them all In a castle made of stone Every night she slept alone Any noise that would raise the dead Couldn't wake her sleepyhead A stranger came from a 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 ten thousand men Their battle cries filled all with dread But couldn't wake her sleepyhead The fighting lasted all day long But the castle walls were 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?
