As I Roved Out The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

As I roved out on a May morning
On a May morning right early
I met my love upon the way
Oh, Lord but she was early

And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee
And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day

Her boots were black and her stockings white
And her buckles shone like silver
She had a dark and a rolling eye
And her ear-rings tipped her shoulder

And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee
And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day

"What age are you my bonny wee lass
What age are you my honey?"
Right modestly she answered me
"I'll be seventeen on Sunday"

And she sang lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle, lilt-a-doodle-dee
And she hi-di-lan-di-dee, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan- day

"Where do you live my bonny wee lass
Where do you live my honey?"
"In a wee house up on the top of the hill
And I live there with my mammy"
