On a Bright May Morning [Live in Owen Sound, Ontario / 2023]

DP, LOREENA MCKENNITT

As I roved out on a bright May morning
To view the meadows and flowers gay
Whom should I spy, but my own dear lover
As she sat under yon willow tree

I took off my hat and I did salute her
I did salute her most courageously
When she turned around well the tears fell from her
Saying, False young man, you've deluded me

A diamond ring alone you gave me
A diamond ring to wear on my right hand
But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them
And married the lassie that had the land

If I'd married the lassie that had the land, my love
‘Tis that I'll rue 'til the day I die
When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it
I was blindfolded I'll ne'er deny

At night when I go to my bed of slumber
My thoughts of my true love run in my mind
When I turn around to embrace my darling
Instead of gold sure ‘tis brass I find

And I wish the Queen would call home her army
From the West Indies, America and Spain
And every man to his wedded woman
In hopes that you and I will meet again
