Intro        Verse As I roved out on a bright May morning To view beyond the meadows and flowers gay Whom should I spy but my own true lover As she sat under yon willow tree Verse I took off my hat and I did salute her Oh I did salute her most courageously When she turned around well the tears fell down from her Saying "False young man you have deluded me" Verse "And a diamond ring I owned I gave you A hard diamond ring to wear on your right hand But the vows you made love you went and broke them And married the lassie that had the land" Verse "If I married the lassie that had the land my love It’s that I’ll rue till the day I die When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it I was blindfolded I’ll ne’er deny" Instrumental /u>   /u>    Verse Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber My thoughts of my true love run in my mind When I turned around to embrace my darling Instead of gold sure it’s brass I find Verse And I wish the Queen would call home her army From the West Indies Amerikay and Spain And every man to his wedded woman In hopes that you and I will meet again Outro
