the beers family - the golden skein lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, it was in the month of may
when rams and heifers sport and play
and tiny birds do sing a charm
i met a fair young man

[verse 2]
the sun shone on his flaxen hair
his cheek was high and rosy fair
and when he spoke most courteously
’twas like the sound of spring

[verse 3]
“oh, would you mind” he said to me
“if i do tag along with thee?
perchance to help thee bind thy hair
or weave the golden skein?”

[verse 4]
“oh, no, kind sir, this cannot be
for you’re a stranger unto me
my mistress bids i will not bide
or pass the idle day”

[verse 5]
“’tis best you go and seek out those
with riches fine and frilly clothes
where ladies fair do plait and bind
or weave thе golden skein”
[verse 6]
but, oh, the day was sweet and warm
and thеre was pleasure in his form
to idle was my moment’s ease
the rest, my heart’s desire

[verse 7]
so gently took he by the hand
to wander softly ‘cross the land
to pluck a rose to bind my hair
to tread the flowered stream

[verse 8]
then on my breast he wound a chain
around and fro and back again
and in a cloak of lace entwined
he wove the golden skein
