As I Roved Out
The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem
As I roved out on a May morning On a May morning right early I met my love upon the way Oh, Lord but she was early
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,- And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
Her boots were black and her stockings white And her buckles shone like silver She had a dark and a rolling eye And her ear-rings tipped her shoulder
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,- And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
I went to her house on the top of the hill When the moon was shining clearly She arose to let me in But her mammy chanced to hear me
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,- And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
She caught her by the hair of the head And down to the room she brought her Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And with the butt of a hazel twig She was the well-beat daughter
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,- And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
Will you marry me now my soldier lad? Will you marry me now or never? Marry me now my soldier lad For you see I'm done forever
I can't marry you my bonny wee lass I can't marry you me honey For I have got a wife at home And how could I disown her?
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,- And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
A pint at night is my delight And a gallon in the morning The old women are my heart break But the young ones is my darling
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee,- And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day
