One Starry Night

One starry night, as I lay sleeping
One starry night, as I lay in bed
I dreamed I heard wagon wheels a-creaking
When I awoke, love, found you had fled

I'll search the highways, likewise the byways
I'll search the boreens, the camping places too
I will inquire of all our people
Have they tidе or tidings or sight of you

For it's many's thе mile, love, with you I've traveled
Many's the hour, love, with you I've spent
I dreamed you were my love forever
But now I find, love, you're only lent

I'll go across the seas to England
To London or to Birmingham
And in some public house I'll find you
Lamenting your lost love back home

I'm drunk today, I'm seldom sober
A handsome rover from town to town
When I am dead, my story ended
Molly Bonner's story, come lay me down

One starry night, as I lay sleeping
One starry night, as I lay in bed
I dreamed I heard wagon wheels a-creaking
Now that you're gone, love, might as well be dead

Now that you're gone, love, might as well be dead
Now that you're gone, love, might as well be dead
