Searching for Lambs

from Without a Chaperone by Reesha Dyer

/

about

A very popular song, collected by Cecil Sharp.

lyrics

As I walked out one May morning,
One May morning betime,
I met a maid, from home had strayed,
Just as the sun she did rise.

“What makes you rise so soon, my love,
Your journey to pursue?
Your pretty little feet they tread so neat,
Strike off the morning dew.”

“I'm off 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.”

Hello! I'm Reesha, I sing songs and accompany them on the guitar with dubious proficiency. Some of them are funny, some of them are depressing. It's a magical mood lottery!
