Fine Horseman

Sleeping in my bed
Strange thoughts a-running through my head
And I dreamed you were
Playing with my hair
Fine fine sparrow, fine fine horseman

Rain falls and the wind roars
All the folks are indoors
We came through a ford
Riding over the moors
Fine fine sparrow and a fine fine horseman

Your dreams among my dreams
Blue seas amongst sunbeams;
Shades of yellow, shades of green
These are your dreams among my dreams
Fine fine sparrow, fine fine horseman

Morning to you, farming man
Here's to your heart, your family and land
I'll pay down a ring and a gold band
On a field for a ride around
For a fine fine sparrow, a fine fine horseman

Morning likewise, maiden and man
My family's dead, my heart is in the ground
I have no land
This is no time for a farming man
Nor a fine fine sparrow, or a fine fine horseman

Sleeping in my bed
