[Christy Moore - The Night Visit lyrics]
Who are you, me pretty fair maid
Who are you, me honey?
Who are you, me pretty fair maid
Who are you, me honey?
She answered me modestly
"Well I am me mammy's darling"
With your too-ry ah fol-de-diddle dah
Me Day-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh
And will you come to me mammy's house
When the moon is shining clearly
And will you come to me mammy's house
When the moon is shining clearly
I'll open the door and I'll let you in
And divil the one will hear us
So I went to her house in
The middle of the night
When the moon was shining clarely
So I went to her house in
The middle of the night
When the moon was shining clarely
Shc opened the door and she let me in
And divil the one did hear us
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
Saying "There's plenty of oats
For a soldier's horse
To eat it if he's able"
She took me by the lily-white hand
And she led me to the table
She took me by the lily-white hand
And she led me to the table
Saying "There's plenty of wine
For a soldier boy drink it if you're able"
She got up and she made the bed
And she made it nice and aisy
She got up and she made the bed
And she made it nice and aisy
Then she took me by the hand
Saying "Blow out the candle!"
There we lay till the break of the day
And divil the one did hear us
There we lay till the break of the day
And divil the one did hear us
She arose and put on her clothes
Saying "Darling, you must leave me"
When will I return again
When will we get married
When will I return again
When will we get married
When broken shells make Christmas bells
We might well get married
Who are you, me honey?
Who are you, me pretty fair maid
Who are you, me honey?
She answered me modestly
"Well I am me mammy's darling"
With your too-ry ah fol-de-diddle dah
Me Day-re fol-de-diddle dai-rie oh
And will you come to me mammy's house
When the moon is shining clearly
And will you come to me mammy's house
When the moon is shining clearly
I'll open the door and I'll let you in
And divil the one will hear us
So I went to her house in
The middle of the night
When the moon was shining clarely
So I went to her house in
The middle of the night
When the moon was shining clarely
Shc opened the door and she let me in
And divil the one did hear us
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
She took me horse by the bridle and the bit
And she led him to the stable
Saying "There's plenty of oats
For a soldier's horse
To eat it if he's able"
She took me by the lily-white hand
And she led me to the table
She took me by the lily-white hand
And she led me to the table
Saying "There's plenty of wine
For a soldier boy drink it if you're able"
She got up and she made the bed
And she made it nice and aisy
She got up and she made the bed
And she made it nice and aisy
Then she took me by the hand

There we lay till the break of the day
And divil the one did hear us

When will I return again
When will we get married
When will I return again
When will we get married
When broken shells make Christmas bells
We might well get married
