Fairport Convention - "Banks Of The Sweet Primroses" lyrics
*** Complimentary Banks Of The Sweet Primroses Ringtone ***
As I walked out on a midsummer's morning
Down by the banks of the sweet primroses
For to view the fields and to take the air
There I beheld a most 'love lie' fair
Three short steps, I stepped up to her
I stepped up to her, thinking for to view her
Not knowing her as she passed me by
She appeared to be like some virtuous bride
I says "Fair maid, where are you going'
And what's the occasion of all your brief'
If you will grant to me one small relief"
Down by the banks of the sweet primroses
For to view the fields and to take the air
There I beheld a most 'love lie' fair
Three short steps, I stepped up to her
I stepped up to her, thinking for to view her
Not knowing her as she passed me by
She appeared to be like some virtuous bride
I says "Fair maid, where are you going'
And what's the occasion of all your brief'
If you will grant to me one small relief"
'Tis you that has caused my poor heart to wander
I will make you as happy as any lady
You are a false deceitful man, I know
"Stand off, stand off, you're a false deceiver
So I'll go down to some lonesome valley
And in your comfort lies no refrain"
Where no man on earth shall there me find
Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices
And every moment blows blusterous wind
Pray pay attention to what I say
So come all young men who go a-sailing
For there's many a dark and a cloudy morning
Turns out to be a sunshiny day
I will make you as happy as any lady
You are a false deceitful man, I know
"Stand off, stand off, you're a false deceiver
So I'll go down to some lonesome valley
And in your comfort lies no refrain"
Where no man on earth shall there me find
Where the pretty little small birds do change their voices
And every moment blows blusterous wind
Pray pay attention to what I say
So come all young men who go a-sailing
For there's many a dark and a cloudy morning
Turns out to be a sunshiny day
