Young Waters

"Young Waters"
Song
Genre	Ballad

"Young Waters" (Roud 2860, Child 94) is an English-language folk song.^[1]

Synopsis

The queen sees Young Waters ride to court. A clever lord asks her to name the comeliest man in the whole company (at court), and her answer is 'Young Waters' is the fairest face that ever my eyes did see'. The king is angry that she did not accept him. She tries to appease him, but the king throws Young Waters in prison and executes him.

Commentary

The ballad is often supposed to be based on a historical occurrence, but no such event has been located that matches it.^[2]

A very similar Scandinavian ballad names King Magnus Ladulås and his wife Helvig as the king and queen. Folke Lovmandson finds favor with many ladies of court, especially the queen; a page stirs the king's suspicion; the innocent knight is rolled down the hill in a barrel set with knives.^[3]
