Prince Breacan of Denmark was lord of the strand	A
And lord of the billowy sea	B
Lord of the sea and lord of the land	A
He might have let maidens be	B
	-
A maiden he met with locks of gold	C
Straying beside the sea	B
Maidens listened in days of old	C
And repented grievously	B
	-
Wiser he left her in evil wiles	D
Went sailing over the sea	B
Came to the lord of the Western Isles	D
Give me thy daughter said he	B
	-
The lord of the Isles he laughed and said	E
Only a king of the sea	B
May think the Maid of the Isles to wed	E
And such men call not thee	B
	-
Hold thine own three nights and days	F
In yon whirlpool of the sea	B
Or turn thy prow and go thy ways	F
And let the isle maiden be	B
	-
Prince Breacan he turned his dragon prow	G
To Denmark over the sea	B
Wise women he said now tell me how	G
In yon whirlpool to anchor me	B
	-
Make a cable of hemp and a cable of wool	H
And a cable of maidens' hair	I
And hie thee back to the roaring pool	J
And anchor in safety there	I
	-
The smiths of Greydule on the eve of Yule	J
Will forge three anchors rare	I
The hemp thou shalt pull thou shalt shear the wool	H
And the maidens will bring their hair	I
	-
Of the hair that is brown thou shalt twist one strand	A
Of the hair that is raven another	K
Of the golden hair thou shalt twine a band	A
To bind the one to the other	K
	-
The smiths of Greydule on the eve of Yule	J
They forged three anchors rare	I
The hemp he did pull and he shore the wool	H
And the maidens brought their hair	I
	-
He twisted the brown hair for one strand	A
The raven hair for another	K
He twined the golden hair in a band	A
To bind the one to the other	K
	-
He took the cables of hemp and wool	H
He took the cable of hair	I
He hied him back to the roaring pool	J
He cast the three anchors there	I
	-
The whirlpool roared and the day went by	L
And night came down on the sea	B
But or ever the morning broke the sky	L
The hemp was broken in three	B
	-
The night it came down the whirlpool it ran	M
The wind it fiercely blew	N
And or ever the second morning began	M
The wool it parted in two	N
	-
The storm it roared all day the third	O
The whirlpool wallowed about	P
The night came down like a wild black bird	O
But the cable of hair held out	P
	-
Round and round with a giddy swing	Q
Went the sea king through the dark	R
Round went the rope in the swivel ring	Q
Round reeled the straining bark	R
	-
Prince Breacan he stood on his dragon prow	G
A lantern in his hand	A
Blest be the maidens of Denmark now	G
By them shall Denmark stand	A
	-
He watched the rope through the tempest black	S
A lantern in his hold	C
Out out alack one strand will crack	S
It is the strand of gold	C
	-
The third morn clear and calm came out	P
No anchored ship was there	I
The golden strand in the cable stout	P
Was not all of maidens' hair	I
