THE DROWSY SLEEPER source: “The Maine Woods Songster” edited by Phillips Barry, 1939 Arise arise you drowsy sleeper, arise arise it’s almost day There’s someone at your bedroom window a-mourning there so bitterly Oh who is at my bedroom window a-mourning there so bitterly Tis I tis I your own true loved one, the boy you always loved the best Oh Mary dear go ask your father if you my wedded bride shall be If he says no, love come and tell me and I’ll no longer trouble thee Oh Willie dear I dare not ask him for he lies in his bed at rest And by his side a silver dagger to pierce the heart that I love best Oh Mary dear go ask your mother if you my wedded bride shall be If she says no, love come and tell me and I’ll no longer trouble thee Oh Willie dear I need not ask her for she is bound to set us free So Willie dear go court some other she whispered softly unto me Oh I can climb the highest tree love and I can rob the eagle’s nest And I can court the prettiest fair maid but not the one that I love best
