Kate Rusby - As I Roved Out INTRO: As I roved out one fine May morning To view the meadows and flowers gay Oh who should I spot but my own true lover As she sat by yon willow tree 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 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." "If I wed the lassie who has the land my love It’s that I’ll rue ’til the day I die. When misfortune falls sure the man may shun it It was my fault that I’ll not deny" INSTRUMENTAL: "And at night when I go to my bed of slumber The thoughts of my love are in my mind. As I turn around to embrace my darling Oh instead of gold sure ’tis brass I will find And I wish The Queen would bring home all her armies From the West Indies America and Spain. And every man to his wedded woman Oh in hopes that I might be with thee again"
