Lyrics As I Roved Out - Tommy Makem , The Clancy Brothers
As
I
roved
out
on
a
May
morning
On
a
May
morning
right
early
I
met
my
love
upon
the
way
Oh,
Lord
but
she
was
early
And
she
sang
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee,
and
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee
and
she
lan-
day
Her
boots
were
black
and
her
stockings
white
And
her
buckles
shone
like
silver
She
had
a
dark
and
a
rolling
eye
And
her
ear-rings
tipped
her
shoulder
And
she
sang
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee,
and
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee
and
she
lan-
day
I
went
to
her
house
on
the
top
of
the
hill
When
the
moon
was
shining
clearly
She
arose
to
let
me
in
But
her
mammy
chanced
to
hear
me
And
she
sang
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee,
and
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee
and
she
lan-
day
She
caught
her
by
the
hair
of
the
head
And
down
to
the
room
she
brought
her
And
with
the
butt
of
a
hazel
twig
She
was
the
well-beat
daughter
And
she
sang
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee,
and
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee
and
she
lan-
day
Will
you
marry
me
now
my
soldier
lad?
Will
you
marry
me
now
or
never?
Marry
me
now
my
soldier
lad
For
you
see
I'm
done
forever
I
can't
marry
you
my
bonny
wee
lass
I
can't
marry
you
me
honey
For
I
have
got
a
wife
at
home
And
how
could
I
disown
her?
And
she
sang
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee,
and
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee
and
she
lan-
day
A
pint
at
night
is
my
delight
And
a
gallon
in
the
morning
The
old
women
are
my
heart
break
But
the
young
ones
is
my
darling
And
she
sang
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle,
lilt-a-doodle-dee,-
And
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee,
and
she
hi-di-lan-di-dee
and
she
lan-
day
