Kiwi Lith a doodle, As I Rode Out ? (16) Lyr Add: AS I ROVED OUT (from Brian Kennedy) 19 Sep 98


Here we go. Please forgive me if this is jumbled, I'm unskilled with HTML format and with using Lynx on the Mudcat instead of Nutscrape. :)

"AS I ROVED OUT" as sung by Brian Kennedy

As I roved out one bright may morning
To view the meadows and lflowers gay
Whom should I spy but my own true love
As she sat under yon willow tree.

I took off my hat and I did salute her
I did salute her most courteously
When she turned around well the tears fell from her
Saying false young man you have deluded me.

A diamond ring I own I gave you
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand
But the vows you made love you went and broke them
And married the lassie who had the land

If I married the lassie that had the land my love
It's that I'll rue till the day I die
When misfortune falls no man can shun it
I was blindfolded that I'll never deny

Now at night when I go to my bed of slumber
The thought of my true love runs in my mind
When I turn around to embrace my darling
Instead of gold sure it is brass I find

And I wish the queen would call home her armies
From the West Indies, Amerikay, and Spain
And every man to his wedded woman
In hopes that you and I will meet again
