He Moved Through the Fair

He Moved Through the Fair - The Chieftains

My own love said to me

My mother won't mind

And my daughters won't slight

You for your lack of kind

He went away from me and this he did say

It will not be long Love till our wedding day

He went away from me

And he moved through the fair

And slowly I watched him move here

And move there

He went his way homeward with one star awake

As this swan in the evening moves over the lake

I dreamed last night that my own love came in

He came in so sweetly his feet made no din

He came close beside me and this he did say

It will not be long love till our wedding day

It will not be long love long love

Long love love
