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 |
