As I Roved Out The High Kings

As I roved out on a May mornin'
On a May mornin', right early
I spied my love upon the way
Oh Lord, but she was early
Her shoes were black, her stockings white
And her buckles shone like silver
She had a dark and rovin' eye
And her earrings touched her shoulders

(Chorus)
And she sang:
"A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee
Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy
And cha lan day"
And she sang:
"A lith a dlddle, lith a diddle lith a dlddle dee
Cha hiddle hundiddy, cha hiddle hundiddy
And cha lan day
And cha lan day"

How old are you my bonny be girl
How old are my darlin'
How old are you my bonny be girl
"I'll be seventeen on Sunday"
While I went to her house at the top of the hill
And the moon was shinin' clearly
She arose to let me in
But her mother chanced to hear me
