Loreena McKennitt - As I Roved Out Lyrics
Who are you, my pretty fair maid,Who are you, me honey?And who are you, my pretty fair maid,And who are you, me honey?She answered me quite modestly, I am me mother's darlingWith meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohAnd will you come to me mother's house,When the moon is shining clearly?And will you come to me mother's houseWhen the moon is shining clearly?I'll open the door and I'll let you inAnd divil 'o one will hear usWith meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohSo I went to her house in the middle of the nightWhen the moon was shining clearlySo I went to her house in the middle of the nightWhen the moon was shining clearlyShe opened the door and she let me in and divil the one did hear usWith meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohShe took me horse by the bridle and the bitAnd led him to the stableShe took me horse by the bridle and the bitAnd led him to the stableSaying "There's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse,To eat it if he's able"With meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohThen she took me by the lily-white handLed me to the tableThen she took me by the lily-white handLed me to the tableSaying "There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy,To drink if he is able"With meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohThen I got up and I made the bedI made it nice and aisyThen I got up and I made the bedI made it nice and aisyThe I got up and I laid her downSaying "Lassie, are you able? "With meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohAnd there we lay till the break of dayDivil the one did hear usAnd there we lay till the break of dayAnd divil the one did hear usThen I arose and put on me clothesSaying "Lassie, I must leave you"With meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie ohAnd when will you return againWhen will we get married?And when will you return againWhen will we get married?When broken shells make Christmas bellsWe might then get marriedWith meToo-ry-ay Fol-de-diddle-day Di-re fol-de-diddle Dai-rie oh
