Lyrics to As I Roved Out
When I lived in London, I used to love singing this on my way home from the Blackhorse Road Tube stop As I roved out on a May morning On a May morning so early As I roved out on a May morning On a May morning so early T'was then I spied a fair young maid And the sun was shining clearly wid me Too ray al, fal the diddle dah, Die re fal, the diddle darry oh And who are you me pretty fair maid And who are you me honey She answered me quite modestly I am me mother's darling wid me Will ye come to me house in the middle of the night When the moon is shining clearly I'll open the door and I'll let you in And divil a one shall hear us wid me So I came 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 divil a one did hear us wid me She took me horse by the bridle and the bit And she led him to the stable Saying there's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse To eat them if he's able wid me She took me by the lily white hand And she led me to the table Saying there's plenty of wine for a soldier boy To drink it if he's able wid me Then I got up and I made the bed And I made it nice and aisy And I picked her up and I laid her down Saying, lassie, are ye able wid me... And there we lay till the break of day And divil a one did hear us Then I got up and put on me clothes Saying lassie I must leave you wid me And when will you return again And when will we get married When broken shells make Christmas bells Then we might well get married wid me
