Lyrics
she had a dark and a rolling eye
Right modestly she answered me, if i went to the house on the top of the hill, will you marry me now my soldier lad
She was the well-beat daughter, would you arise and let me in The, right modestly she answered me
And her ear-rings tipped her shoulder, but her mammy chanced to hear her As, i ll be seventeen on sunday
As i roved out on a may morning, lilt-a-doodle-dee,
Right modestly she answered me, when the moon was shining clearly The, a pint at night is my delight
I can t marry you my bonny wee lass, and she hi-di-lan-di-dee
And i live there with my mammy, i can t marry you my honey Out, right modestly she answered me
She arose to let me in, lilt-a-doodle
A pint at night is my delight, she arose to let me in
Where do you live my honey, on a may morning right early Brothers, i went to the house on the top of the hill
but the young ones is my darling
When the moon was shining clearly, i can t marry you my honey, a pint at night is my delight
would you arise and let me in
and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan
When the moon was shining clearly, will you marry me now or never
She caught her by the hair of the head, right modestly she answered me
And with the butt of a hazel twig, but the young ones is my darling, her boots were black and her stockings white
And her ear-rings tipped her shoulder, and her ear-rings tipped her shoulder
i went to the house on the top of the hill
when the moon was shining clearly
I can t marry you my bonny wee lass, her boots were black and her stockings white The, and your mammy not to hear you
I can t marry you my honey, in a wee house up on the top of the hill
i can t marry you my bonny wee lass
and i live there with my mammy
And how could i disown her, for you see i m done forever Roved, i can t marry you my bonny wee lass
She was the well-beat daughter, what age are you my honey
her boots were black and her stockings white
On a may morning right early, and she sang lilt-a-doodle The, when the moon was shining clearly
And she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan, on a may morning right early
And she sang lilt-a-doodle, i met my love upon the way As, when the moon was shining clearly
And your mammy not to hear you, a pint at night is my delight, and she sang lilt-a-doodle
But her mammy chanced to hear her, i went to the house on the top of the hill, i went to the house on the top of the hill
when the moon was shining clearly
Where do you live my honey, the old women are my heart break
What age are you my honey, she caught her by the hair of the head
In a wee house up on the top of the hill, lilt-a-doodle-dee,
i ll be seventeen on sunday
And i live there with my mammy, for i have got a wife at home, will you marry me now or never
will you marry me now my soldier lad
and she hi-di-lan-di-dee and she lan
i can t marry you my bonny wee lass
as i roved out on a may morning
