As I Roved Out (Live on IPR)

lyrics

As I roved out on a May morning On a May morning right early
I met my love upon the way Oh, Lord but she was early


And she sang diddle-liddle-lee, diddle-liddle-lee,
diddle-liddle-lee, diddle-liddle-lee Me Darlin’

Her boots were black her stockings white And her buckles shone like silver
She had a dark and a rolling eye And her ear-rings tipped her shoulder
"What age are you my bonny wee lass What age are you my honey?"
Right modestly she answered me "I'll be seventeen on Sunday"
"Where do you live my bonny wee lass Where do you live my honey?"
"In a wee house up on the top of the hill And I live there with my mammy"
"If I went to the house on the top of the hill When the moon was shining clearly
Would you arise and let me in And your mammy not to hear you?"
I went to the house on the top of the hill When the moon was shining clearly
She arose to let me in But her mammy chanced to hear her
She caught her by the hair of the head And down to the room she brought her
And with the butt of a hazel twig She was the well-beat daughter
"Will you marry me now my soldier lad Will you marry me now or never?
Will you marry me now my soldier lad For you see I'm done forever"
"I can't marry you my bonny wee lass I can't marry you my honey
For I have got a wife at home And how could I disown her?"
A pint at night is my delight And a gallon in the morning
The old women are my heart break But the young ones is my darling
