rambleaway - bert jansch lyrics

Loading...

as i was walking to birmingham fair
in my new scarlet jacket and everything rare
to where man pass by and these words they did say:
“are you the young man they call rambleaway?”

the very first steps i took into the fair
i spied pretty nancy a*combing her hair
she tipped me the wink and she rolled her dark eye
says i to myself, “i’ll be there by and by”

as i was a*walking that night in the dark
i took my bright nancy to be my sweetheart
she smiled in my face and ’tis what she did say
“are you the young man they call rambleaway?”

i said,”now, pretty nancy, don’t smile in my face
for i do not intend to stay long in this place”
so i gave her three doubles and fair length and share
i said that i might ramble but the devil knows where

now, twenty*four weeks they were over and past
this fair pretty maiden did sicken at last
her gown wouldn’t meet nor her apr*n strings tie
and all through the love of young rambleaway
