kate rusby - as i roved out lyrics
as i roved out one fine may morning,
to view the meadows and flowers gay,
who should i spot but my own true lover
as she sat by yon willow tree.
i took off my hat and i did salute her,
i did salute her most courageously.
as she turned around, the tears fell from her
saying, “false young man, you’ve deluded me.
and the diamond ring i behold i gave to you,
a diamond ring to wear on your right hand.
but the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
and you wed the l-ssie who has the land.”
“if i wed the l-ssie who has the land, my love,
it’s that i’ll rue to the day i die.
when misfortune falls, sure the man may shun it,
it was my fault, that i’ll not deny.
and at night when i go to my bed of slumber
the thoughts of my love are in my mind.
as i turn around to embrace my darling,
instead of gold, sure ’tis br-ss i find.
and i wish the queen would bring home her armies
from the west indies, america and spain.
and every man to his wedded woman
oh in hopes that i might be with thee again.”
