|
One morning a young man |
|
was walking his way |
|
when he saw a fair maid |
|
come along the highway. |
|
He said to this fair maid, |
|
"If you do not mind, |
|
I will walk with you |
|
on this fine morning" |
|
The young maid she told a sorrowful tale |
|
How the landlord was wicked |
|
and forced her to wail. |
|
And she had just left |
|
on that very same morn |
|
then the young man he turned and he told her |
|
"Won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
|
Oh won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always." |
|
The young man |
|
he took this fair maid by the hand |
|
he said, "Come with me now |
|
to a far away land" |
|
For he had a plan that the two could be free |
|
to seek out their fortunes together. |
|
They boarded a ship that would take them away |
|
and she clung to his arm |
|
as the ship it did sway. |
|
When he held her and told her to not be afraid |
|
she had felt that her troubles were over. |
|
Won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
|
Oh won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
|
The two fell in love |
|
and they soon settled down |
|
and in no time at all, |
|
heard the wedding bells sound. |
|
They started a union |
|
and they knew it would last. |
|
They would treasure the time of their meeting. |
|
When one morning a young man |
|
was walking his way |
|
when he saw a fair maid |
|
come along the highway. |
|
He said to this fair maid, |
|
"If you do not mind, |
|
I will walk with you |
|
on this fine morning." |
|
Won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
|
Oh won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
|
Oh won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
|
Oh won't you come with me now? |
|
And I will look after you always. |
