(McNabb)
|
|
Tell me fair young maiden
|
Will you take me as your own
|
For I must face this journey with a reason to come home
|
There's danger 'cross the deep salt sea
|
God knows what we may find
|
Armed with musket, pipe and drums
|
You'll still be on my mind
|
|
Chorus: As the wind blows, so the time goes
|
Take us where we long to be
|
My travelling chest
|
My good companion
|
Though I'm gone
|
Your heart belongs to me
|
|
Tell me fair young maiden
|
Will you take me as your own
|
There's danger at the factory gates
|
The picket line has grown
|
While you're sleeping in your bed
|
My love consider this
|
I'll make my weary way home
|
To the promise of your kiss
|
Chorus
|
|
I'm so ill at ease and weary when I'm down
|
Seem to loose those shackles
|
When you bring your love around
|
Strange as it seems, I'm lost for words
|
When I speak, I'm not heard, I'm aware you're waiting for me
