Steeleye Span - Searching for Lambs lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Searching for Lambs lyrics]
As I walked out one May morning
One May morning betime
I met a maid from home had strayed
Just as the sun did shine
‘What makes you rise so soon, my dear
Your journey to pursue?’
’Your pretty little feet they tread so neat
Strike off the morning dew’
‘I'm going to feed my father's flocks
His young and tender lambs’
’That over hills and over dales
Lie waiting for their dams’
‘O stay, o stay, you handsome maid
And rest a moment here’
’For there is none that you alone
That I do love so dear’
‘How gloriously the sun doth shine
How pleasant is the air’
’I'd rather rest on a true love's
Breast than any other where’
‘For I am thine and thou art mine
No man shall uncomfort me’
’We'll join our hands in wedded bands
And married we shall be’
One May morning betime
I met a maid from home had strayed
Just as the sun did shine
‘What makes you rise so soon, my dear
Your journey to pursue?’
’Your pretty little feet they tread so neat
Strike off the morning dew’
‘I'm going to feed my father's flocks
His young and tender lambs’
’That over hills and over dales
Lie waiting for their dams’
‘O stay, o stay, you handsome maid
And rest a moment here’
’For there is none that you alone
That I do love so dear’
‘How gloriously the sun doth shine
How pleasant is the air’
’I'd rather rest on a true love's
Breast than any other where’
‘For I am thine and thou art mine
No man shall uncomfort me’
’We'll join our hands in wedded bands
And married we shall be’
