Mary Black - She Moves Through The Fair lyrics

I once had a sweetheart, I loved her right well

I loved her far better than my tongue can tell

Her parents did slight me for the want of guile

Adieu to all pleasure since I lost my dear

She went away from me and moved through the fair

Where hand-clapping dealers' loud shouts rent the air

The sunlight around her did sparkle and play

Saying, "It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day"

When dew falls on meadows and moths fill the night

When glow from the greesach on half-froze, half-light

I'll slip from my casement and I'll run away

Then it will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day

I dreamed last night that my love came in

She came in so easy, her feet made no din

She came stepping up to me and this she did say

"It will not be long, love, 'til our wedding day"
