Lyrics Awake Ye Drowsy Sleepers - Ian & Sylvia

Awake Ye Drowsy Sleepers

Awake, awake you drowsy sleeper
How can you lie and slumber so
When your true love is a going to leave you
And never to return any more
How can you slumber on your pillow?
When your true love must stand and wait
And must I go and wear the willow
In sorrow mourning for your sake
O Molly deal go ask your father
If you my, my bride can be
And then return and quickly tell me
An I no more shall trouble thee
O no I cannot ask my father
He’s lying on his bed of rest
And in his hand is a silver dagger
To pierce the one that I love bst
Down in yon valley there grows a green yarrow
I wish that yarrow shot through my brast
It would end my dream, it would end my sorrow
And set my troubled heart at rest
