Sweet Bride Kate Rusby Verse: A lady was walking on a midsummer’s day The birds they were whistling so merrily and gay When along came a white steed in the finest array And it carried a young man these words he did say Chorus: Come live by the great moon That rules the strong tide Climb up on my horse love And be my sweet bride Instrumental Verse: I bid you good morning this young man did say And where might you be going on such a nice day I’m walking to view sir the bonny blue sea For it’s all I have left now that means much to me Chorus Verse: If that’s all you love now come riding with me You’ll live in my castle deep under the sea You’ll sleep in my gold bed my fine silken sheets And have gifts of great beauty from all that you meet Chorus Instrumental Break Repeat x1 You can emphasize these notes while playing the chords above to give it a little more character.
