As I roved out one evening fair |
| [00:38.03] |
By the verdant braes of Skreen |
| [00:43.63] |
I set my back to a hawthorn tree |
| [00:49.79] |
To view the sun in the west country |
| [00:57.11] |
And the dew on the forest green |
| [01:03.05] |
|
| [01:04.07] |
A lad I spied by Abhann's side |
| [01:10.55] |
And a maiden by his knee |
| [01:16.33] |
And he was as dark as the very brown wood |
| [01:22.55] |
And she all whey and wan to see |
| [01:29.34] |
All whey and wan was she |
| [01:35.56] |
|
| [01:36.51] |
"Oh sit you down on the grass," he said |
| [01:42.79] |
"On the dewy grass so green |
| [01:48.80] |
For the wee birds all have come and gone |
| [01:54.81] |
Since I my true love have seen," he said |
| [02:01.87] |
"Since I my true love have seen" |
| [02:34.21] |
|
| [02:36.71] |
"Then I'll not sit on the grass," she said |
| [02:43.23] |
"Nor be a love of thine |
| [02:48.83] |
For I hear you love a Connaught gril |
| [02:57.31] |
And your heart's no longer mine," she said |
| [03:04.79] |
"And your heart's no longer mine" |
| [03:10.83] |
|
| [03:11.36] |
"And I will climb a high, high tree |
| [03:17.26] |
And I'll rob a wild bird's nest |
| [03:22.85] |
And back I'll bring whatever I do find |
| [03:29.47] |
To the arms that I love best," she said |
| [03:35.92] |
"To the arms that I love best" |
| [03:40.45] |
