From on my roof I saw her bathing Her beauty's more than I can bear She sparks inside of me some craving To bathe me in her flowing hair Around my house did I inquire Who is this beauty, my good friend? They said the one that you desire Is wed to one of your best men. As he was out at battle for me I had her brought into my room She lay with me until the morning Beneath the light of yonder moon I have not seen her for a while I just indeed have heard the news That she is pregnant with my child Lord, what am I supposed to do? If I bring her husband back home, maybe He'll go and sleep with her tonight No one will know that it's my baby And everything will be alright But I'm afraid that he's already wise To all the things that I have done And he will see right through my lies And all my plans will come undone If this is so, there's just one action That I can take to make things right Withdraw my army from around him That he might not survive the fight
