Gathering Mushrooms Lyrics - Singles - Clannad

Rising early out of bed 

Across the fields I steered O 

When O and I a woman I spied 

And a pretty fair maid appeared O. 

Her head was bare I do declare 

She had neither hat nor feather on 

And she stopped so low gave me to know 

It was mushrooms she was gathering O. 

O gathering O 

and she stopped so low gave me to know 

It was mushrooms she was gathering O. 

Where are you going says my dear 

Why are you up so early O 

I've seen you on the dewy grass 

Before the sower Ferdio. 

Quite modestly she answered me 

And she said I gathering mushrooms 

To make my Mammy ketchup O. 

O ketchup O 

and she said I am gathering mushrooms 

To make my Mammy ketchup O. 

Her parting breast on mine she pressed 

Her heart was like a feather O 

And her lips on mine do gentle join 

And we both sat down together O. 

Together O 

and her lips on mine do gentle join 

And we both sat down together O.
