The King, oh, the King, your heart demands,
My heart, it asks, oh lover, it demands.
See how it asks, oh how it seeks,
The King, he wants a coin tossed high and free.
A coin in air, a coin in dance,
How can I give, oh how, by chance?
How can I give my very core,
My heart ripped out, forevermore?
The King, he wants a coin tossed high.

Behold the hunter, oh the hunter,
Behold the hunter, oh the hunter,
Such hunters as you, I've seen them all,
The caged nightingale will not fall.
Weak are your threads, oh, so weak,
Weak are your threads, your hunter's seek.
Your hunting nets, I will not yield,
The King, he wants a coin tossed in the field.

I'd rather die of thirst, I'd rather die,
I'd rather die of thirst, I'd rather lie,
I'd rather die, than give my heart to you,
Why should I waste a diamond, true?
A fickle lover, oh, a fickle one,
A fickle lover, your charm is done.
Your ways, they twist, they turn, they fail,
The King, he wants, oh lover, pale.
The King, he wants a coin tossed high.
A coin, a coin, in the air so high.
A coin, a coin, tossed high.
