She Moved Through The Fair

作曲：traditional

作词：traditional

My young love said to me my mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind

And she stepped away from me and this she did say

It will not be long love till our wedding day

As she stepped away from me and she moved through the fair

And fondly I watched her move here and move there

And then she turned homeward with one star awake

Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

The people were saying no two e'er were wed

But one had a sorrow that never was said

And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear

And that was the last time that I saw of my dear

The people were saying no two e'er were wed

But one had a sorrow that never was said

And I smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear

And that was the last time that I saw of my dear

Last night she came to me my dead love came in

And so softly she came that her feet made no din

As she laid her hand on me and this she did say

It will not be long love till our wedding day
