Thread Name: Lyr Add: Catch Me If You Can
Subject: Lyr Add: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
I got my version from a Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman CD, Away From It All. Words are similar to the original;
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
'Twas early, early, all in the Spring Down in the meadows, growing green A fair young lady I chanced to see I asked her if - she would walk with me
I asked her if - she would walk with me Down in the meadows, oh so green I'd show her flowers and pretty things I'd show her what - she had never seen
As this young couple, were strolling along He sang to her - some - sweet pretty song He sang to her – some sweet pretty song And soon he'd gained - her favour
Now that you've had - your will of me And stole away – my - sweet liberty And stole away – my sweet liberty Won't you tell to me – your name sir
My name is catch me, that's if you can I'll marry you – when I return I'll marry you when I return But I'm going across - the wide ocean
When three long months they were gone and past And six long months - he'd never returned Nine long months - it had come at last And the child it had – no father
I'll roam this wide world, all around and around I'll find that young man, if I can I'll find that young man - if I can If I catch him at – his pleasure
Repeat 5th verse
Lovely, lovely song.
I can't remember who they tribute the song to, but if you wish I'll take a look when I get home and get back to you.
