Rapalje - As I Roved Out

Текст песни

Who are you me pretty fair maid
Well who are you me honey
Who are you me pretty fair maid
Well who are you me honey
She answered me quite modestly:
«I am me mother’s darling»
With your too-ry-ah fol-de-diddle-dah
Day-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh
And will you come to me mother’s house
When the sun is shining clearly
And will you come to me mother’s house
When the sun is shining clearly
I’ll open the door and I’ll let you in
And the devil is the one that’ll hear us
So I went to her house in the middle of the night
When the moon was shining clearly
So I went to her house in the middle of the night
When the moon was shining clearly
She opened the door and she let me in
And devil was the one that’d us
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
There’s plenty of oats for a soldier’s horse
So eat it if he’s able
She took me by the lily-white hand
And she led me to the table
She took me by the lily-white hand
And she led me to the table
There’s plenty of wine for a soldier boy
So drink it if you’re able
I got up and I made the bed
I made it nice and easy
I got up and I made the bed
I made it nice and easy
I got up and I laid her down saying:
«Lassie are you able»
There we laid till the break of the day
And the devil was the one that’d hear us
There we laid till the break of the day
And the devil was the one that’d hear us
I arose and put on my clothes saying:
«Lassie, I must leave thee»
When will you come back to me
And when will we get maried
When will you come back to me
And when will we get maried
When broken shells make Christmas bells
I will surely wed thee
