The Night Visit |
Who are you, me pretty fair maid |
Who are you, me honey? |
Who are you, me pretty fair maid |
Who are you, me honey? |
She answered me modestly, |
«Well I am me mammy’s darling.» |
CHORUS |
With your too-ry-ah |
Fol-de-diddle-dah |
Me Day-re fol-de-diddle |
Dai-rie oh. |
And will you come to me mammy’s house |
When the moon is shining clearly. |
And will you come to me mammy’s house |
When the moon is shining clearly. |
I’ll open the door and I’ll let you in And divil the one will hear us. |
CHORUS |
So I went to her house in the middle of the night |
When the moon was shining clarely. |
So I went to her house in the middle of the night |
When the moon was shining clarely. |
Shc opened the door and she let me in And divil the one did hear us. |
CHORUS |
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit |
And she led him to the stable |
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit |
And she led him to the stable |
Saying «There's plenty of oats for a soldier’s horse, |
To eat it if he’s able.» |
CHORUS |
She took me by the lily-white hand |
And she led me to the table |
She took me by the lily-white hand |
And she led me to the table |
Saying «There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy, |
Drink it if you’re able.» |
CHORUS |
She got up and she made the bed |
And she made it nice and aisy |
She got up and she made the bed |
And she made it nice and aisy |
Then she took me by the hand |
Saying «Blow out the candle!» |
CHORUS |
There we lay till the break of the day |
And divil the one did hear us There we lay till the break of the day |
And divil the one did hear us She arose and put on her clothes |
Saying «Darling, you must leave me.» |
CHORUS |
When will I return again |
When will we get married |
When will I return again |
When will we get married |
When broken shells make Christmas bells |
We might well get married. |
