letra de the maid of the sweet brown knowe - the clancy brothers & tommy makem

Loading...

come all ye lads and lasses, and hear my mournful tale
ye tender hearts that weep for love to sigh you will not fail
’tis all about a young man, and my song will tell you how
he lately came a-courtin’ of the maid of the sweet brown knowe

said he, “my pretty young fair maid, could you and i agree
to join our hands in wedlock bands, and married we will be
we’ll join our hands in wedlock bands, and you’ll have my plighted vow
that i’ll do my whole endeavors for the maid of the sweet brown knowe

now this young and pretty fickle thing, she knew not what to say
her eyes did shine like silver bright, and merrily did play
says she, “young man, your love subdue, i am not ready now
and i’ll spend another season at the foot of the sweet brown knowe”

“oh,” says he, “my pretty young fair maid, now why do you say so?
look down in yonder valley where my verdant crops do grow
look down in yonder valley at my horses and my plough
all at their daily labor for the maid of the sweet brown knowe”

“if they’re at their daily labor, kind sir, it is not for me
i’ve heard of your behavior, i have, kind sir, ” said she
“there is an inn where you drop in, i’ve heard the people say
where you rap and you call and you pay for all, and go home by the break of day”

“if i rap and i call and i pay for all, my money is all my own
i’ve never spent aught of your fortune, for i hear that you’ve got none
you thought you had my poor heart broke in talkin’ to you now
but i’ll leave you where i found you, at the foot of the sweet brown knowe”
