Eliza Carthy - Blow the Winds / the Game of Draughts lyrics

There was a shepherd's son He kept sheep on the hill He laid his pipe and his crook aside And there he slept his fill Chorus (after each verse): And blow the winds high-o, high-o Sing blow the winds high-o Well he looked east and he looked west He took another look And there he saw a lady gay Was dipping in a brook She said: "Sir, don't touch my mantle Come let my clothes alone I will give you as much bright money As you can carry home" "I will not touch your mantle I'll let your clothes alone But I'll take you out of the water clear My dear to be my own" He mounted her on a milk white steed Himself upon another And there they rode along the road Like sister and like brother And as they rode along the road He spied some co*ks of hay "Oh look!" he says, "there's a lovely place For men and maids to play" And when they came to her father's house They rang long at the ring And who is there but her brother To let the young girl in When the gates were opened This young girl she jumped in "Oh, look!" she says, "you're a fool without And I'm a maid within!" "There is a horse in my father's stable He stands behind the thorn He shakes himself above the trough But dares not pry the corn" "There is co*k in my father's yard A double comb he wears He shakes his wings and he crows full loud But a capon's crest he bears" "And there is a flower, in my father's garden It's called the marigold The fool that will not, when he can He shall not when he would" Says the shepherd's son as he doffed his shoes "My feet they shall run bare And if I ever meet another girl I'll have that girl beware"
