John Mcdermott - She Moved Thro' The Fair lyrics

My young love said to me "my mother won't mind And my father won't slight you For your lack of kind" And she stepp'd away from me And this she did say, "it will not be long, love, Till our wedding day." She stepp'd away fromme And went through the fair And fondly i watch'd her Move here and move there And then she went homeward With one star awake As the swan in the evening Moves over the lake The people were saying That no two e'er were wed And one had a sorrow That never was said And i smiled as she pa**ed With her goods and her gear, And that was the last That i saw my dear. Last night she came to me She came softly in. So softly she came That her feet made no din. And she placed her hand on me And this she did say "oh it will not be long, love, Till our wedding day."
