[00:10.67]
[00:31.02] As I roved out one evening fair
[00:38.03] By the verdant braes of Skreen
[00:43.63] I set my back to a hawthorn tree
[00:49.79] To view the sun in the west country
[00:57.11] And the dew on the forest green
[01:03.05]
[01:04.07] A lad I spied by Abhann's side
[01:10.55] And a maiden by his knee
[01:16.33] And he was as dark as the very brown wood
[01:22.55] And she all whey and wan to see
[01:29.34] All whey and wan was she
[01:35.56]
[01:36.51] "Oh sit you down on the grass," he said
[01:42.79] "On the dewy grass so green
[01:48.80] For the wee birds all have come and gone
[01:54.81] Since I my true love have seen," he said
[02:01.87] "Since I my true love have seen"
[02:34.21]
[02:36.71] "Then I'll not sit on the grass," she said
[02:43.23] "Nor be a love of thine
[02:48.83] For I hear you love a Connaught gril
[02:57.31] And your heart's no longer mine," she said
[03:04.79] "And your heart's no longer mine"
[03:10.83]
[03:11.36] "And I will climb a high, high tree
[03:17.26] And I'll rob a wild bird's nest
[03:22.85] And back I'll bring whatever I do find
[03:29.47] To the arms that I love best," she said
[03:35.92] "To the arms that I love best"
