The Bear and the Maiden Fair is a popular song in Westeros.
Lyrics
A bear there was,
A bear! A BEAR!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!
Oh come they said, oh come to the fair!
The fair?" said he, but I'm a bear!
All black and brown, and covered in hair!
And down the road, from here to there, from here, to there!
Three boys, a goat, and a dancing bear!
They danced and spun, all the way to the fair!
Oh! sweet she was, and pure and fair,
The maid with honey, in her hair!
Her hair, the maid with honey, in her hair!
The bear smelled the scent, on the summer air!
The Bear! The Bear!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!
He smelled the scent, on the summer air,
He sniffed and roared, and smelled it there!
Honey on the summer air!
Oh I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair,
I'll never dance, with a hairy bear,
A bear! A bear!
I'll never dance, with a hairy bear!
The bear, the bear!
Lifted her high, into the air!
The bear, the bear!
I called for a knight! But you're a bear!
A bear! A bear!
All black and brown, and cover in hair!
She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair,
But he licked the honey, from her hair!
Her hair! Her hair!
He licked the honey, from her hair!
Then she sighed and squealed, and kicked the air,
She sang: 'My bear so fair!', And off they went,
The bear! The bear!
And the maiden fair!
Behind the scenes
Producers of Game of Thrones have enlisted Brooklyn indie rock band The Hold Steady to record a version of the song, with music composed by Ramin Djawadi.[1]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, The Bear and the Maiden Fair is a somewhat ribald song popular among the smallfolk and the nobility as well. It describes in a humorous tone the story of a hairy bear that, while going to a fair with a band of three boys and a goat, rescues a maiden who was hoping for a knight.
