As I Roved Out Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I roved out on a fine May morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Oh, who should I spy but my own true lover
As she sat by yon willow tree

[Verse 2]
I took off my hat and I did salute her
I did salute her most courageously
As she turned around the tears fell from her
Saying, "False young man, you've deluded me"

[Verse 3]
"And the diamond ring I behold I gave to you
A diamond ring to wear on your right hand
But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
And you wed the lassie who has the land"

[Verse 4]
"If I wed the lassie who has the land, my love
It's that I'll rue till the day I die
When misfortune falls sure no man may shun it
I was blindfolded, I'll not deny"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
And at night when I go to my bed of slumber
Oh, the thoughts of my love are in my mind
As I turn around to embrace my darling
Oh, instead of gold, sure is brass I find

[Verse 6]
And I wish the Queen would bring home her armies
From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain
And every man to his wedded woman
Oh, in hopes that I might be with thee again
