And will you come to my fathers house
where the sun does shine so clearly
and will you come to my fathers house
where the sun does shine so clearly
I'll open the door and I'll let you in
and divil a-one will hear us
Chorus:
So she led me to her fathers house
where the moon was shining clearly
so she led me to her fathers house
where the moon was shining clearly
she opened the door and she let me in
and divil a-one could hear us
Chorus:
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
and led it to the stable
she took me horse by the bridle and the bit
and led it to the stable
there's plenty of oats for a soldiers horse
to eat up if he's able
Chorus:
She took me by the lily white hand
and led me to the table
she took me by the lily white hand
and led me to the table
there's plenty of wine for a soldier boy
to drink up if he's able
Chorus:
Then I got up and I made the bed
and I made it nice and easy
then I got up and I made the bed
and I made it nice and easy
then I got up and I laid her down
saying lassie are you able
Chorus:
And there we lay till the break of day
and divil a-one could hear us
and there we lay till the break of day
and divil a-one could hear us
till I arose and put on my clothes
saying lassie I must leave you
Chorus:
(Drop Instruments)
And when will you return to me again
and when will we be married
and when will you return to me again
and when will we be married
when broken shells ring Christmas bells
we might well be married
