Guitar playing
When first to
London town I came I took
my lodging all at
Samhain
For four, five months I did re main
Being a stranger I fell in danger
Doing so, doing so
The landlord had a daughter fair
She was a beauty, I do de clare
In a bedchamber I did not go
For being a stranger I fell in danger
Doing so, doing so
She'd ruby lips and she'd eyes of blue
They caused me to love her so
I kissed her lips, her bosom too
But being a stranger, I fell in danger
Do ing so, doing so
In yonder grove my seed was sown
In yonder grove where grew no green
The more I kissed her,
this girl being young,
The more I kissed her,
her eyes did glisten
Like the rising of the sun.
The seeds of love, they grew apace,
The tears, they blossomed all on her face.
All for to reap it I would not stay,
For being a stranger I fell in danger, I ran away,
I ran away.
When I longed, month,
they were gone and past
This pretty girl and her babe at last
She must keep it like it's hers alone
Hand me the seeds,
throw myself a stone
Doing so, doing so
