about

A beautiful Irish song, that we felt lent itself to a bluesy, laid back electric guitar. The story is slightly ambiguous, but the moral is clear, and the melancholy is undeniable.

lyrics

As I roved out on a bright May morning
To view the flowers and the meadows gay
Who did I spy but my own true lover
As she sat under yon willow tree

I took off my hat, and I did salute her
I did salute her courageously
But she turned around and the tears fell from her
Saying, false young man you have deluded me

Three diamond rings, sure I own I gave you
Three diamond rings to wear on your right hand
But the vows you made love, you went and broke them
And married the lassie who had the land

If I married the lassie who had the land my love
It's that I'll rue until the day I die
When misfortune falls, sure, no man can shun it
I was blindfolded, I'll n'er deny

And at night when I go to my silent slumbers
The thoughts of my true love run in my mind
When I turn around to embrace my darling
Instead of gold, sure it's brass I'll find

And I wish the Queen would call home her armies
From England, Ireland, Americay and Spain
And every man to his wedded woman
In hopes that you and I may meet again
