The song tells the story of a young warrior desperately searching for his beloved, who has been hidden away (some versions say she was kidnapped or went into hiding of her own will)
It has become a never ender because of the many verses that have been added describing where the warrior has looked in vain. (Dorian's record is 40 verses in one sitting, many of them audience suggestions)
The rarely sung final verse reveals where the beloved is--hidden in the back room of the shop the whole time he was looking, oblivious to her clues.
