The Candels Song Lyrics

1.When I was apprenticed in LondonI went to see my dear.The candles all were burning,The moon shone bright and clear.I knocked upon her windowTo ease her of her pain.She rose up to let me in,Then barred the door again.2.I like your well behaviourAnd this I often say.I cannot rest contentedWhen I am far away.The roads they are so muddy,We cannot walk about.So roll me in your arms my loveAnd blow the candles out.3.Your father and your motherIn yonder room do lie.A-hugging one another,So why not you and I?A-hugging one anotherWithout a fear or doubt,So roll me in your arms my loveAnd blow the candles out.4.I prithee speak more softlyOf what we have to do.Lest that our noise of talkingShould make our pleasure rue.The streets they are so nigh, love,The people walk about. They may peep in and spy, love,So blow the candles out.And if we prove successful, love,Please name it after me.Treat it neat and kiss it sweetAnd daff it on your knee.When my three years are over,My time it will be out.And I will pay my debt to youBy blowing the candles out.
