Crossword Genius

Song told story (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lied

I believe this is a double definition.

'song' is the first definition.
(type of German song)

'told story' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for lied that I've seen before include "Art song - told porkies" , "Spoke falsely" , "Stated falsely" , "refused to admit it" , "was responsible for terminological inexactitude" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
