As I roved out on a May morning,
On a May morning quite early,
It’s there I met my 0wn true love
But lord she was early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And she sang lithie adoda lithie adoda lithie adoda alee\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And she hidle daloppa dee\u00a0she hidaloppa dee and see landed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her hair was black her stockings white<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and her buckles shone like silver<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She had a dark and a roving eye<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And her earrings tipped her shoulder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went to the house on the top of the hill <\/p>\n\n\n\n
whe the moon was shining clearly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And she arose to let me in <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But her mother chanced to hear me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She caught her by the hair of her head<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And down to the room she brought her<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And by the root of a hazel twig<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was a well beat daughter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will ye marry me now me soldier lad<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will ye marry me now or never<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marry me now me soldier lad <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For you see I’m done forever<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t marry you me bonnie wee lass<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t marry you nae never<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For I have got a wife at home <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And how csn I disown her<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now a pint at night is my delight
And a gallon in the morning.
The old women are my heartbreak
But the young ones are my darling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
