jane siberry - as i roved out lyrics

Loading...

as i roved out one bright may morning
to view the purple heather and flowers gay
who 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 and the tears fell from her eyes
saying, “false young man, you have deluded me”

three diamond rings for love i gave you
three diamond rings to wear on your right hand
but the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
and married the l-ssie that had the land

if i married the l-ssie that had the land, my love
’tis that i’ll rue until the day i die
but when fortune calls few men can shun it
i was a blind fool was i

now at night 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 ’tis br-ss i find

and i wish the queen would call home her armies
from the west indies, america and spain
and every man to his homeland would run
and i in hope that we’d meet again

as i roved out one bright may morning
to view the purple heather and flowers gay
who should i spy but my own true lover
as she sat under yon willow tree
