Cailín Deas Crúite Na Mbó: Pretty Maid Milking Her Cow Lyrics by Cathie Ryan

Somewhere Along the Road

0

[Verse 1]
It being on a fine summer's morning
As the birds sweetly tuned on each bower
I heard a fair maid sing most charming
As she sat milking her cow
Her voice was enchanting melodious
Which left me scarce able to go
My heart, it was soothed with solace
[Refrain]
By the cailín deas crúite na mbó
[Verse 2]
I courteously did salute her
"Good morning, most amiable maid
I'm your captive slave for the future"
"Kind sir, do not banter," she said
"I'm not such a precious rare jewel
That I should enamor you so
I am but a plain county girl"
[Refrain]
Says the cailín deas crúite na mbó
[Verse 3]
"The Indies afford no such jewels
So precious, so transparent clear
Oh do not refuse me, my jewel
Consent now and love me, my dear
For riches I care not a farthing
It's your love that I want and no more
I'd rather live poor on the mountain"
[Refrain]
With my cailín deas crúite na mbó
[Verse 4]
"I don't understand what you mean, sir
I ne'er was a slave yet to love
For these feelings I have no desire
I pray your affection remove
To marry, I can assure you
That state I will not undergo
I'm prepared to live single and airy"
[Refrain]
Says the cailín deas crúite na mbó
