the chieftains - when a man's in love lyrics

[verse 1]
when a man’s in love he feels no cold as i not long ago
as a hero bold to see my girl i ploughed through frost and snow
and the moon she gently shed her light along my dreary way
until at length i came to the spot where all my treasure lay

[verse 2]
i knocked on my love’s window saying, “my dear are you within?”
and softly she undid the latch so slyly i stepped in
her hand was soft and her breath was sweet and her tongue it did gently glide
i stole a kiss it was no miss and i asked her to be my bride

[verse 3]
“oh, take me to your chamber love, oh, takе me to your bed
oh, take mе to your chamber love to rest my weary head”
“but to take you to my chamber love, my parents would never agree
so sit you down there by yon turf fire, and i’ll sit close by thee”

[verse 4]
“how many’s the time through frost and snow, i’ve come to visit you?
whether tossed about by cold wintry winds or wet by the morning dew
but tonight our courtship’s at a close between you love and me
so fare you well, my own favourite girl, a long farewell to thee”

[verse 5]
“yes, many’s the time i’ve courted you against your parents’ will
but you never said you’d be my bride, so now my girl, sit still
for tonight i am going to cross the sea to far off columbia’s shore
and you will never, ever see your youthful lover more”
[verse 6]
“oh, are you going to leave me now? oh, pray what can i do?
i will break through every bond of home and come along with you
i know my parents won’t forget, ah, but surely they’ll forgive
so from this hour i am resolved along with you i will live”
