As I Roved Out Lyrics - Singles - Tears For Beers

And who are you, me pretty fair maid 

And who are you, me honey? 

And who are you, me pretty fair maid 

And who are you, me honey? 

She answered me quite modestly, 

"I am me mother's darling." 

cho: With me too-ry-ay 

Fol-de-diddle-day 

Di-re fol-de-diddle 

Dai-rie oh. 

And will you come to me mother's house, 

When the sun is shining clearly ( repeat ) 

I'll open the door and I'll let you in 

And divil 'o one would hear us. 

So I went to her house in the middle of the night 

When the moon was shining clearly ( repeat ) 

Shc opened the door and she let me in 

And divil the one did hear us. 

So I went to her house in the middle of the night 

When the moon was shining clearly ( repeat ) 

Shc opened the door and she let me in 

And divil the one did hear us. 

She took me horse by the bridle and the bit 

And she led him to the stable ( repeat ) 

Saying "There's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse, 

To eat it if he's able." 

Then she took me by the lily-white hand 

And she led me to the table ( repeat ) 

Saying "There's plenty of wine for a soldier boy, 

To drink it if you're able." 

Then I got up and made the bed 

And I made it nice and aisy ( repeat ) 

Then I got up and laid her down 

Saying "Lassie, are you able?" 

And there we lay till the break of day 

And divil a one did hear us ( repeat ) 

Then I arose and put on me clothes 

Saying "Lassie, I must leave you." 

And when will you return again 

And when will we get married ( repeat ) 

When broken shells make Christmas bells 

We might well get married.
