GUEST,Uwe Schmidt Lyr Req: Squire and the Lady (from Wild Geese) (8) Squire and the Lady 21 Feb 00


Who knows the correct words of the folksong "The Squire and the Lady" from the folk band "Wild Geese"? The name of that old LP (I think 20 years old) is "The Quays of Galway Town". The words I understood:

Squire says ... delight
But would you like to spend the night

Title ti ry dely, title ti ry fal di day.

I'll tie a string all around me finger
And I'll drop it out through my bedroom window
And you will come and pull the string
And I'll come down and let you in

Title ti rie dely, title ti rie fal di day.

But Jacky was in the bar just listening
Me ... Jack I'll think I'll ...
And Jack came and pulled the string
She came down and let him in.

Title ti ry dely, title ti ry fal di day.

Squires came to pull the string
There was no one there to let him in

Title ti ry dely, title ti ry fal di day.

Early next morning she did awaken
'Twas then she found she was mistaken
For there was Jacky to ...
... all nice covered and dark

Title ti ry dely, title ti ry fal di day.

Oh ... is a woman all ...
The devil ... to you

Title ti ry dely, title ti ry fal di day.

Thanks
Uwe
