On a Bright May Morning Lyrics

As I roved out on a bright May morning To view the meadows and flowers gay Whom should I spy but my own true lover As she sat under yon willow tree
I took off my hat and I did salute her I did salute her most courageously When she turned around well the tears fell from her Saying, “False young man, you've deluded me”
A diamond ring I owned I gave you A diamond ring to wear on your right hand But the vows you made, love, you went and broke them And married the lassie that had the land [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/on-a-bright-may-morning-lyrics-loreena-mckennitt.html ]
If I'd married the lassie that had the land, my love It's that I'll rue till the day I die When misfortune falls sure no man can shun it I was blindfolded I'll ne'er deny
Now at nights when I go to my bed of slumber My thoughts of my true love run in my mind When I turned around to embrace my darling Instead of gold sure it's brass I find
And I wish the Queen would call home her army From the West Indies, America and Spain And every man to his wedded woman In hopes that you and I will meet again
