He Moved Through The Fair

He Moved Through The Fair - Maggie Reilly

Written by：Traditional

My young love said to me

My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kind

And he laid his hand on me

And this he did say

Oh it will not

Be long love

'Till our wedding day

And he went away from me

And moved through the fair

And fondly I watched him move here

And move there

And he laid his hand on me

And this he did say

Oh it will not be long love

'Till our wedding day

Last night in sweet slumber

I dreamed I did see

My own darling

Duo

Sat smiling by me

And he laid his hand on me

And this he did say

Oh it will not be long love

'Till our wedding day

Last night he came to me

My dead love

Came in

And so softly he came

That his feet

Made no din

And then he went homeward

Just one star awake

Like the swan

In the evening

Moves over

The lake

My young love said to me

My mother won't mind

And my father won't slight you

For your lack of kind

And he laid his hand on me

And this he did say

Oh it will not be long love

'Till our wedding day

And he laid his hand on me

And this he did say

Oh it will not be long love

'Till our

Wedding day
