18 Apr 01 - 04:05 PM (#443692) Subject: Sheepherding Lad From: Gypsy This was on PHC last weekend, but with the thick accent, canna make out the lyrics. The story line is: Our chivalrous hero saves the fair maiden, and escorts her back to the castle. More fool he, he lost her by doing so. Final line is something like: You are the fool without, and I the maiden within. Anyone with smarter ears than mine? Thanks, all |

See also Blow Away the Morning Dew (ii) a version from America. There was a knight was drunk with wine Came riding down the way, And there he met a lady fair Among the cocks of hay, CHORUS: Singing loudly whistle in the wind, Blow the wind hi ho, Blow away the morning dew, How sweet the winds do blow. Says he, Shall you and I, lady, Among the grass lie down, And I will have a special care Of rumpling of your gown. If you will go along with me Unto my father's hall, You shall enjoy my maidenhead And my estates and all, He put her on a milk-white steed, Himself all on another, And all the day they rode along Like sister and like brother, And when she came to her father's gate She tirled at the pin, And ready stood the porter there To let the fair maid in, Says she, I am a maid within, And you're a fool without, There never were a butcher's boy Put me in so much doubt, There is a cock in father's barn He never trod a hen. He flies about and flaps his wings, I think you're one of them, There is a flower in our garden We call it marigold, And if you will not when you may, You shall not when you would, When you meet a pretty maid A mile or two from town, Never mind her gay clothing, But lay her on the ground, From: http://mysongbook.de/msb/songs/r_clarke/blowdew.htm |
