As I Roved Out - 歌词大全

As I roved out one bright May morning To view the purple heather and flowers gay Who should I spy, but my own true love As she sat by yon willow tree. I took off my hat and I did salute her, I did salute her most courageously. When she turned around, and the tears fell from her Saying, "False young man, you've deluded me. And the diamond ring I behold I gave to you, A diamond ring to wear on your right hand. But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them And you wed the lassie that has the land." "If I wed the lassie who has 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 a blind fool was I' Now at night when I go to my bed of slumber The thoughts of my true love run in my mind. When I turn around to embrace my darling, instead of gold, sure 'tis brass I find. And I wish the queen would call home her armies From the West Indies, America and Spain. And every man to his wedded woman Oh in hopes that I might be with thee again."
