On A Bright May Morning Lyrics - The Wind That Shakes The Barley - Loreena Mckennitt

As I roved out on a bright May morning 

To view the meadows and flowers gay 

Whom should I spy but my own true lover 

As she sat under yon willow tree 

I took off my hat and I did salute her 

I did salute her most courageously 

When she turned around well the tears fell from her 

Saying, "False young man, you've deluded me" 

A diamond ring I owned I gave you 

A diamond ring to wear on your right hand 

But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them 

And married the lassie that had the land

If I'd married the lassie that had the land, my love 

It's that I'll rue till the day I die 

When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it 

I was blindfolded I'll ne'er deny 

Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber 

My thoughts of my true love run in my mind 

When I turned around to embrace my darling 

Instead of gold sure it's brass I find 

Photos 

And I wish the Queen would call home her army 

From the West Indies, America and Spain 

And every man to his wedded woman 

In hopes that you and I will meet again
