My heart is yearning
My heart is yearning Dreams are for knowing Seeds are for sewing Ebbing and flowing While my love is growing My heart is yearning My heart is yearning My heart is yearning Dreams are for knowing Seeds are for sewing Ebbing and flowing While my love is growing Sure as an acorn grows from a seed Father provide me with all that I seek My heart is yearning Dreams are for knowing Seeds are for sewing Ebbing and flowing While my love is growing Sure as a river flows from the sea Father provide me with all that I see My heart is yearning And the mountain knows it is so And the newborn knows it is so And the old man knows it is so And I always pray it is so My heart is yearning |

Hori horo, my bonnie young man
Hori horo, my rare one And won't you come with me my love? To me my own - my fair one Smiling the land, smiling the sea Sweet as a wind in the heather Would we lay yonder, just you and me? The two of us together Hori horo, my bonnie young man Hori horo, my rare one And won't you come with me my love? To be my own - my fair one |

One evening as I rambled
Among the springtime I overheard a young woman Converse with Reynardine Her hair was black and her eyes were blue Her lips as red as wine And he smiled to gaze upon her Did that sly, bold Reynardine He said, "if by chance you should look for me Perhaps you'll not me find For I'll be in my castle Inquire for Reynardine Sun and dark she followed him His eyes did brightly shine And he led her over the mountain Did that sly, bold Reynardine |

There is a birch in Cachel Wood
The silverest I've seen With mystery as a maiden's bed With mystery as a dream I dream to find my own true love An everlasting fire Imperishing when leaves decay T'would be my heart's desire Follow the burn to the sea How my poor heart weeps for thee Weeps for thee Then nature sent my own true love When apple blossom fell He sang beneath the mighty oak And courted me so well He spoke the pleasures of the flesh Of married life to come I loved him then in Cachel Wood T'was then I was undone Follow the burn to the sea How my poor heart weeps for thee Weeps for thee Follow the burn to the sea How my poor heart weeps for thee The berries on the rowan tree With child and in full bloom He proved to be a false young man A most unworthy groom A fish swims in the ocean deep A bird lives in the sky And fleetingly they intertwine And fleetingly they sigh Follow the bird to the sea How my poor heart weeps for thee Weeps for thee Follow the bird to the sea How my poor heart weeps for thee |

Early one day
On a Tuesday Met a wolf king across a plain And I kissed him I caressed him Will I see you again I shall roam far across the land If you shan't be my husband Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman, or thief So he led her 'Cross the river To his kingdom And back again Played a fine lute And as night fell They returned to the plain "Sweetest maid you are right for me Though God wills me be free Sweetest maid let a human beau Gather roses for thee To a wolf you cannot be wed Choose a young man instead Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman, or thief No other I'll find I'd rather be blind Missed your eyes of robin egg blue You have caused me Much despair, Sir Since I lay here with you To a beggar I shan't be wed Wisemen live in their head Dearest wolf king Thou art the thief Who has loved me so brief And as night fell Some folks will tell She crossed a river Down by the plain 'Twas there the current Held her under Never to be seen again On the plain sprang A red rose tree The wolf was never so free Now he roams far across the land Howling for his bride-to-be He shall roam far across the land For he shan't be a husband Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman Beggar, wiseman or thief |

I went to church on Sunday
My true love passed me by I knew her mind was changing By the roving of her eye By the roving of her eye By the roving of her eye I knew her mind was changing By the roving of her eye My love's fair and proper Her waist is neat and small And she is quite good-looking And that's the best of all And that's the best of all And that's the best of all And she is quite good-looking And that's the best of all Oh, Hannah, loving Hannah Come give to me your hand You swore if ever you're married That I will be the one That I will be the one That I will be the one You swore if ever you're married That I will be the one I'll go down by the river When everyone's asleep I'll think of loving Hannah And then sit down and weep And then sit down and weep And then sit down and weep I'll think of loving Hannah And then sit down and weep I went to church on Sunday My true love she passed me by I knew her mind was changing By the roving of her eye By the roving of her eye By the roving of her eye I knew her mind was changing By the roving of her eye |

Are you going to leave me, love
Are you going to leave me Would you give up your own love true To go with a girl you never knew My true love stands in the bower door Combing down his yellow hair His bonnie face I like to see I wonder if my love thinks of me When I wore my apron low Couldn't keep you from my door But now my apron's to my shin You pass me by and won't come in I wish my baby - it was born Smiling on his daddy's knee And I a poor girl - dead and gone And the green grass growing over me Now there's a bird in your church yard They say he's blind and cannot see I wish it had been the same with me Before I kept your company I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain I wish I was a maid again But a maid again I will never be Since that young man lay still with me Are you going to leave me, love Are you going to leave me Would you give up your own love true To go with a girl you never knew |

Twenty-five years living in a fantasy
Twenty-five years, better choose reality Took a trip searching in your house of fun Couldn't go there with almost anyone Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child No regrets Thursday's child Won't forget Bought a ticket, waltzed on the ferris wheel Take this longing and make it something real Until then she will be a slave to trust Before it's ashes to ashes, dust to dust Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child No regrets Thursday's child Won't forget Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child No regrets Thursday's child Won't forget Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child Far to go Thursday's child No regrets Thursday's child Won't forget |
