Down By The Fjord

Down by the fjord
Where the toughest Vikings row
Back to my home I dare not go
For if I do, my husband will say

Did you ever see a Jarl
With a fiercer snarl?
Down by the fjord

Down by the fjord
Where the toughest Vikings row
Back to my home I dare not go
For if I do, my husband will say

Did you ever see a shield maiden
Who was so plunder laden?
Down by the fjord

Down by the fjord
Where the toughest Vikings row
Back to my home I dare not go
For if I do, my husband will say

Did you ever see an Saxon
So handsome and flaxen?
Down by the fjord

Down by the fjord
Where the toughest Vikings row
Back to my home I dare not go
For if I do, my husband will say

Did you ever see a king
of whom more bards will sing?
Down by the fjord.

Down by the fjord
Where the toughest Vikings row
Back to my home I dare not go
For if I do, my husband will say

I was too busy raiding
to notice you were away
