Song language: English
On a Bright May Morning |
As I roved out on a bright May morning |
To view the meadows and flowers gay |
Whom should I spy but my own true lover |
As she sat under yon willow tree |
I took off my hat and I did salute her |
I did salute her most courageously |
When she turned around well the tears fell from her |
Sayin' «False young man, you have deluded me» |
A diamond ring I owned I gave you |
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand |
But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them |
And married the lassie that had the land" |
«If I’d married the lassie that had the land, my love |
It’s that I’ll rue till the day I die |
When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it |
I was blindfolded I’ll ne’er deny» |
Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber |
The thoughts of my true love run in my mind |
When I turned around to embrace my darling |
Instead of gold sure it’s brass I find |
And I wish the Queen would call home her army |
From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain |
And every man to his wedded woman |
In hopes that you and I will meet again |
