As I Roved Out歌词

[00:10.760]As I roved out one bright May morning
[00:20.090]To view the purple heather and flowers gay
[00:30.480]Who should I spy, but my own true love
[00:40.530]As she sat by yon willow tree.
[00:51.460]I took off my hat and I did salute her,
[01:00.470]I did salute her most courageously.
[01:10.770]When she turned around, and the tears fell from her
[01:21.220]Saying, "False young man, you've deluded me.
[01:31.080]And the diamond ring I behold I gave to you,
[01:42.060]A diamond ring to wear on your right hand.
[01:50.150]But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
[02:02.380]And you wed the lassie that has the land."
[02:47.190]"If I wed the lassie who has the land, my love,
[03:01.830]It's that I'll rue 'till the day I die.
[03:09.990]When misfortune falls, sure no man can shun it.
[03:20.950]I was a blind fool was I'
[03:32.100]Now at night when I go to my bed of slumber
[03:42.580]The thoughts of my true love run in my mind.
[03:50.320]When I turn around to embrace my darling,
[03:59.970]instead of gold, sure 'tis brass I find.
[04:11.260]And I wish the queen would call home her armies
[04:20.630]From the West Indies, America and Spain.
[04:31.590]And every man to his wedded woman
[04:41.280]Oh in hopes that I might be with thee again."
