Subject: RE: Lyr Req: who are you my pretty fine dear...
It was kind of Robby to post those lyrics, but it's worth mentioning that a little judicious use of the "Digitrad and Forum Search" on the main Forum page would have revealed that they've already been posted several times before, so he could have saved himself the effort of typing them out again.  Here are a few examples (two of the version recorded by Christy Moore/Planxty, and some other variants):

As I Roved Out

Lith a doodle, As I Rode Out ?

The night visit by christy moore  Yes, it's "As I Roved Out" again...

Sixteen come next Sunday or so  -One Irish version, one English.

There are probably others kicking about here, too, but these will do for now.
