paroles de chanson Awake Awake - Moira Smiley

Awake, awake you drowsy sleeper
How can you lie in slumber so?
When your true love is going to leave you
Never to return anymore.

Oh Molly dear, go ask your mother
If you my bride, my bride can be
And then return and quickly, tell me
And I no more shall trouble thee

Oh no, I cannot ask my mother
She's lying in her bed of rest
And in her hand, a silver dagger
To pierce the one that I love best

Oh Molly dear, go ask your father
If you my bride, my bride can be
And then return and quickly, tell me
And I no more shall trouble thee

Oh no, I cannot ask my Father
Such stories of love, he will not hear!
He's laying in his bed of slumber
I must not trouble father dear

I wish I was in some lone valley
Where no one would ever hear
My food would be the grief and sorrow
My drink would be the briny tear.
