In response to Mr.Greenhaus...thanks for the suggestion, but it's not that easy to do on my computer...anyway, I'll just post the short (more popular) version, as opposed to the long one, which has bags of lyrics...here goes... SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR My young love said to me, "My mother won't mind And my father won't slight you for you lack of kind." And she stepp'd away from me and this she did say, "It will not be long, love, till our wedding day." She stepp'd away from me and went thro' the fair, And fondly I watch'd her move here and move there, And then she went homeward with one star awake, As the swan in the evening moves over the lake. Last night she came to me, she came softly in, So softly she came that her feet made no din. And she laid her hand on me and this she did say, "It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
I got this from a book but Sinead O'Connor also sang this on "The Long Black Veil" with The Chieftains.Line Breaks added. -Joe Offer-
