about

irish folk song

lyrics

as i roved out on a bright May morning
to view the meadows and flowers gay
whom 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 well the tears fell from her
saying "false young man, you have deluded me"

a diamond ring i owned i gave you
a diamond ring to wear on your right hand
but the vows you made, you went and broke them
and married the lassie that had the land

if i married the lassie that had the land, my love
it's that i'll rue till the day i die
when misfortune falls, sure no man can shun it
i was blindfolded, i ne'er deny

now at nights when i go to my bed of slumber
the thoughts of my true love run in my mind
when i turn around to embrace my darling
instead of gold sure tis brass i find

and i wish the Queen would call home her army
from the West Indies, Amerikay, and Spain
and every man to his wedded woman
in hopes that you and i will meet again.
