cathie ryan - cailín deas crúite na mbó: pretty maid milking her cow lyrics
[verse 1]
it being on a fine summer’s morning
as the birds sweetly tuned on each bower
i heard a fair maid sing most charming
as she sat milking her cow
her voice was enchanting melodious
which left me scarce able to go
my heart, it was soothed with solace
[refrain]
by the cailín deas crúite na mbó
[verse 2]
i courteously did salute her
“good morning, most amiable maid
i’m your captive slave for the future”
“kind sir, do not banter,” she said
“i’m not such a precious rare jewel
that i should enamor you so
i am but a plain county girl”
[refrain]
says the cailín deas crúite na mbó
[verse 3]
“the indies afford no such jewels
so precious, so transparent clear
oh do not refuse me, my jewel
consent now and love me, my dear
for riches i care not a farthing
it’s your love that i want and no more
i’d rather live poor on the mountain”
[refrain]
with my cailín deas crúite na mbó
[verse 4]
“i don’t understand what you mean, sir
i ne’er was a slave yet to love
for these feelings i have no desire
i pray your affection remove
to marry, i can assure you
that state i will not undergo
i’m prepared to live single and airy”
[refrain]
