As I Roved Out
Who are you my pretty fair maid
and who are you me honey
Aye and who are you me pretty fair maid
And who are you me honey
She answered me quite modestly
I am me father's darlin'
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
Oh will you come to me mother's house
When the moon is shining clearly
Aye and will you come to me mother's house
When the moon is shining clearly
I'll open the door and I let you in
Divil the one would hear us
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
So I went to her house in the middle of the night
And the moon shinning clearly
Aye I went to her house in the middle of the night
And the moon shinning clearly
She opened the door and she let me in
Divil the one did hear us
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
She took me horse 'tween the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
Aye she took me horse 'tween the bridle an' the bit
And she led him to the stable
Saying there's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse
To eat them if he's able
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
She took me by her lilly white hand
And she led me to the table
Aye she took me by her lilly white hand
And she led me to the table
Saying there's plenty of wine for a soldier boy
To drink it if I'm able
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
And I got up and made a bed
And I made it nice and airy
Aye And I got up and made a bed
And I made it nice and airy
I got up and I lay her down
Lassie are you able
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
And there we lay till the breakin' of the day
And divil the one did hear us
Aye there we lay till the breakin' of the day
And divil the one did hear us
Then I arose and put on my clothes
Lassie I must leave you
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
When will you return again
And when will we married
Aye when will you return again
And when will we married
When broken shells make for Christmas bells
we might well be married
With me too rye ah, faddle diddle dah
Dye ree fah little dairy o
