Kate Rusby - Sweet Bride Lyrics
A lady was walking on a midsummer's dayThe birds they were whistling so merrily and gayWhen along came a white steed in the finest arrayAnd it carried a young man these words he did sayCome live by the great moonThat rules the strong tideClimb up on my horse loveAnd be my sweet brideI bid you good morning, this young man did sayAnd where might you be going on such a nice dayI'm walking to view sir the bonny blue seaFor it's all I have left now that means much to meChorusIf that's all you love now, come riding with meYou'll live in my castle deep under the seaYou'll sleep in my gold bed, my fine silken sheetsAnd have gifts of great beauty from all that you meetChorusShe's up in the saddle and away they did rideThe horse skipped and danced over waves on the tideNow she's only remembered by this story I tellFrom an old man on horseback who once knew her well
