Current song lyrics
As I went out walking one morning in June,<br>To view the fair fields and the valleys in bloom,<br>I spied a pretty fair maid she appeared like a queen<br>With her costly fine robes and her mantle so green.<br><br>Says I, "My pretty fair maid, won´t you come with me<br>We´ll both join in wedlock, and married we´ll be,<br>I´ll dress you in fine linnen, you´ll appear like a queen,<br>With your costly fine robes and your mantle so green."<br><br>Says she now, "You Young man, you must be excused,<br>For I´ll wed with no man, you must be refused;<br>To the green woods I will wander to shun all men´s view, ........(?)<br>For the lad that I love fell in famed Waterloo."<br><br>"O, then, if you won´t marry, tell me your love´s name,<br>For I being in battle, I might know the same."<br>"Draw near to my garment and there will be seen,<br>His name is embroidered on my mantle so green."<br><br>In raising her mantle there I did behold<br>His name and his surname in letters of gold;<br>Young William O´Reilly appeared in my view<br>He was my chief comrade back in famed Waterloo.<br><br>But when he was dying I heard his last cry<br>´If you were here, Lovely Nancy, contented I´d die;´<br>Now Peace is proclaimed, and the truth I declare<br>Here is your love token, the gold ring I wear."<br><br>O, Nancy, dear Nancy, ´tis I won your heart<br>In your father´s garden that day we did part.<br>Now the wars are all over, no trouble is seen<br>And I´ll wed with my true love in her mantle so green."
