[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"
