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) A pint at night is my delight And a gallon in the morning The old women they are my heartbreak And the young ones are my darlin's. 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. She sang A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy and cha lan day. (x2)
