First verse - same as original Second verse ^^ She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair Where hand clapping dealers' loud shouts rent the air The sunlight about her did sparkle and did play And it will not be long love until our wedding day When dew falls on meadows and moths fill the night When glow the ashes and dark grows half light I'll slip from the casement and we will run away And then it will not be long love until our wedding day According to promise at midnight I rose But all that I found were her downfolded clothes The sheets they lay empty, it was plain for to see That out of the window with another went she If I were an eagle and had wings to fly I would fly to my love's castle and 'tis there I would lie On a bed of green ivy I would lay my head down And with my two fond wings I would my love surround
