Come with me over the Mountain / A Smile in the Dark |
| One night as the moon did illumine the sky' |
| I first took a notion to marry |
| I put on me hat and away I did fly |
| You’d have thought I’d have been in a hurry |
| When I can to the place where I often had been |
| Me heart gave a leap when my darlin' I seen |
| I lifted the latch and I bade her Good E’en |
| Will you come with me over the mountain? |
| What notion is this that’s got into your head |
| You’ll make me afraid to be near you |
| It’s twelve o’clock and they’re all in bed |
| Speak low or me mammy will hear you |
| I’m using no magic, casting no spell |
| I’m an honest young man and I love you right well |
| And if you’ll not have me, dear girl, farewell |
| I’ll go back alone o’er the mountain |
| If I were to make an elopement with you |
| I might put myself in great danger |
| The country would tittle and censor me too |
| My parents would frown and no wonder |
| Let them all tittle and censor away |
| Consult with yourself for it’s growing near day |
| What do we care what the country might say? |
| Come with me over the mountain |
| She looked at me hard, she looked at me long |
| She trembled a little uneasy |
| Then wiping a tear that appeared in her eye |
| She said to me -- Darling, I’m ready |
| Give me a moment til I get me shoes |
| Me heart gave a lep when I heard the glad news |
| I lifted the latch saying I hope you’ll excuse |
| Me simplicity over the mountain |
| By this time the moon had gone down in the west |
| And the morning star brightly was shining |
| We both made the journey in greatest of haste |
| And we were wed at the altar of hymen |
| In peace and contentment we spend our days |
| The anger of parents was soon blown away |
| Often we smile when we’ve little to say |
| On the trip we took over the mountain |
