lyrics

One night as I lay on my bed,
I dreamed about a pretty maid
I was so distressed,
I could take no rest
Love did torment me so
So I to my true love’s did go

And when I came to my love’s window
And boldly called her by her name
Saying, “It’s for your sake
I'm come here so late
Through this bitter frost and snow
So open the window, my love, do

She said, “My mam and dad are still awake
And they are sure for to hear us speak
There'll be no excuse
Only sore abuse
Many bitter words and blows
So go from my window, my love, go!”

I said, “Your mam and dad are still asleep
And they are sure not to hear us speak
They’ll be sleeping sound
On their bed of down
And they draw their breath so low
So open the window, my love, do!”

My lover rose and she opened the door
Just like an angel standing before
With her eyes so bright
Like the stars at night,
No diamond ring shone so
So in with my lover I did go
