Lyrics

they say that this message came with her dying breath
Just as soon as i become a man, they say that this message came with her dying breath
Day after day she looked the same old way, the very last words she ever spoke
And tell him not to cry, and my knees gave way to the ground Down, but in vain for the night began to fall
Time after time i wished my head to lay, they say that this message came with her dying breath Boy, i watched til the dusk from the fields down below
give my love to the boy down the road

long long ago in a house up the road
long long ago in a house up the road
As the sun shone off her hair of gold, but in vain for the night began to fall
as the sun shone off her hair of gold
Someday i would go there and ask for her hand, and tell him not to cry Seals, lived a maiden so beautiful
I watched til the dusk from the fields down below, they say that this message came with her dying breath

In her arms and at last she would know, then one day a stranger came to call
and tell him not to cry
In her arms and at last she would know, time after time i wished my head to lay
And my knees gave way to the ground, as the sun shone off her hair of gold
Long long ago in a house up the road, then one day a stranger came to call, and tell him not to cry
And tell him not to cry, just as soon as i become a man Boy, long long ago in a house up the road

day after day she looked the same old way
give my love to the boy down the road
Give my love to the boy down the road, i watched til the dusk from the fields down below, give my love to the boy down the road
They say that this message came with her dying breath, and tell him not to cry, day after day she looked the same old way
Then came the message that summoned me to town, day after day she looked the same old way Boy, as the sun shone off her hair of gold
and my knees gave way to the ground

Lived a maiden so beautiful, and my knees gave way to the ground, just as soon as i become a man
Then came the message that summoned me to town, long long ago in a house up the road
Lived a maiden so beautiful, long long ago in a house up the road Down, in her arms and at last she would know
Give my love to the boy down the road, but in vain for the night began to fall, and took her far away from down the road
I watched til the dusk from the fields down below, give my love to the boy down the road
they say that this message came with her dying breath

as the sun shone off her hair of gold
And tell him not to cry, the very last words she ever spoke
Then one day a stranger came to call, and my knees gave way to the ground, i watched til the dusk from the fields down below
someday i would go there and ask for her hand
And my knees gave way to the ground, the very last words she ever spoke
someday i would go there and ask for her hand

And wave as i watched from down the road, the very last words she ever spoke Down, i watched til the dusk from the fields down below
