Subject: Lyr Add: AS I ROVED OUT (from Brian Kennedy)
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
