An Cat Dubh - As I Roved Out lyrics

As I roved out Then who are you my pretty fair maid And who are you my honey Then who are you my pretty fair maid And who are you my honey She answered me quite modestly I'm my mothers darlin Will you come to me Mummy's house When the moon is shinin clearly Will you come to me Mummy's house When the moon is shinin clearly I'll open the door and I'll let you in And devil the one will hear us So I went to her house in the middle of the night When the moon was shinin clearly So I went to her house in the middle of the night When the moon was shinin clearly She opened the door and she let me in And devil the one did hear us She took my horse by the bridle and the bit And she led him to the stable She took my horse by the bridle and the bit And she led him to the stable Sayin there's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse To eat it if he's able Then she took me by the lilywhite hand And she led me to the table Then she took me by the lilywhite hand And she led me to the table Sayin there's plenty of wine for a soldier boy Drink it if your're able Then she got up and she made the bed And she made it nice and aisy Then she got up and she made the bed And she made it nice and aisy Then she took me by the hand sayin I hope to God you're able There we lay till the break of day And devil the one did hear us There we lay till the break of day And devil the one did hear us Then she arose, pulled on her clothes sayin Darlin you must leave me When can I return again And when might we get married When can I return again And when might we get married W
