As I Roved Out |
As I roved out on a May mornin' |
On a May mornin', right early |
I spied my love upon the way |
Oh Lord, but she was early |
Her shoes were black, her stockings white |
And her buckles shone like silver |
She had a dark and rovin' eye |
And her earrings touched her shoulders |
(Chorus) |
And she sang: |
«A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee |
Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy |
and cha lan day» |
And she sang: |
«A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee |
Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy |
and cha lan day |
and cha lan day» |
How old are you my bonny be girl |
how old are my darlin' |
How old are you my bonny be girl |
«I'll be seventeen on Sunday» |
While I went to her house at the top of the hill |
And the moon was shinin' clearly |
She arose to let me in |
but her mother chanced to hear me |
(Chorus) |
When she caught her by the hair of the head |
And out of the room, she brought her |
And with the root of a hazel branch |
She was the well-beat daughter. |
«Will you marry me now, me soldier boy? |
Will you marry me now, or never? |
Will you marry me now, me soldier boy? |
Can you see I’m done forever?» |
Well I won’t marry you, my bonnie be girl |
Well I won’t marry you, my darlin' |
For I have got a wife at home |
And how can I disown her? |
(Chorus) |
Well, a pint at night is my delight |
And a gallon in the mornin' |
The old women' they are my heartbreak |
But the young ones are my darlin’s |
As I roved out on a May morning |
On a May morning, right early |
I spied my love upon the way |
Oh Lord, but she was early |
(Chorus) |
And she sang: |
«A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee |
Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy |
and cha lan day |
and cha lan day.» |
