It has a great tune though. |

As in his introduction: This is the only song collected from . . . Sarah was out when Pete went round. Or else she looked from behind the curtains and mistook him for Peter Kennedy . . . |

Right modestly she answered me "I'll be seventeen on Sunday" Chorus "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" Chorus "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?" Chorus 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 Chorus 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 Chorus "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" Chorus "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?" Chorus 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 Chorus - Traditional Taken from the following website http://www.makem.com/discography/recordings/lyricpage/asirovedout.html Don't know if the lyrics are exactly the same as Pete Coe's version. |
