As I roved out    Then who are you my pretty fair maid  And who are you my honey  Then who are you my pretty fair maid  And who are you my honey  She answered me quite modestly  I'm my mothers darlin  Will you come to me Mummy's house  When the moon is shinin clearly  Will you come to me Mummy's house  When the moon is shinin clearly  I'll open the door and I'll let you in  And devil the one will hear us  So I went to her house in the middle of the night  When the moon was shinin clearly  So I went to her house in the middle of the night  When the moon was shinin clearly  She opened the door and she let me in  And devil the one did hear us  She took my horse by the bridle and the bit  And she led him to the stable  She took my horse by the bridle and the bit  And she led him to the stable  Sayin there's plenty of oats for a soldier's horse  To eat it if he's able  Then she took me by the lilywhite hand  And she led me to the table  Then she took me by the lilywhite hand  And she led me to the table  Sayin there's plenty of wine for a soldier boy  Drink it if your're able  Then she got up and she made the bed  And she made it nice and aisy  Then she got up and she made the bed  And she made it nice and aisy  Then she took me by the hand sayin  I hope to God you're able  There we lay till the break of day  And devil the one did hear us  There we lay till the break of day  And devil the one did hear us  Then she arose, pulled on her clothes sayin  Darlin you must leave me  When can I return again  And when might we get married  When can I return again  And when might we get married  W
