As I Roved Out Lyrics - Singles - The High Kings

As I roved out on a May morning 

On a May morning right early 

I spied my love upon the way 

Oh Lord but she was early. 

Her shoes were black, her stockings white 

Her buckles shone like silver 

She had a dark and rovin' eye 

And her earrings touched her shoulders. 

She sang 

A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee 

Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy 

and cha lan day. (x2) 

How old are you my bonny be girl 

how old are my darlin 

How old are you my bonny be girl 

"I'll be seventeen on Sunday"

So I went to the house at the top of the hill 

The moon was shining clearly 

She arose to let me in 

but her mother chanced to hear me. 

She sang 

A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee 

Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy 

and cha lan day. (x2) 

She caught her by the hair of the head 

And out of the room she brought her 

With the root of a hazel branch 

She was the well beat daughter. 

Will you marry me now my soldier boy? 

Will you marry me now or never? 

Will you marry me now my soldier boy? 

Can't you see I'm done forever? 

I won't marry you now my bonnie be girl 

I won't marry you my darlin' 

For I have got a wife at home 

And how can I disown her 

She sang 

A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee 

Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy 

and cha lan day. (x2)
