One Night As I Lay On My Bed

One Night As I Lay On My Bed - A.L. Lloyd

One night as I lay on my bed

I dreamed about a pretty maid

I was so distressed

I could take no rest

Love did torment me so

So away to my true love I did go

But when I came to my love's window

I boldly called her by her name

Saying It was for your sake

I'm come here so late

Through this bitter frost and snow

So it's open the window

My love do

My mum and dad

They are both awake

And they will sure for to hear us speak

There'll be no excuse

Then but sore abuse

Many a bitter word and blow

So begone from my window

My love do

Your mum and dad

They are both asleep

They are sure not to hear us speak

For they're sleeping sound

On their bed of down

And they draw their breath so low

So open the window

My love do

My love arose and

She opened the door

And just like an angel

She stood on the floor

Her eyes shone bright like

The stars at night

And no diamonds could shine so

So in with my true love I did go
