willie archer - silly wizard lyrics
o as i was a-walking down by yon mill-town,
the fair and lovely mountains they did me surround;
’twas there i saw a fair maid, and to me she looked grand;
she was plucking wild roses on the banks of the bann.
so i stepped up to this fair one, and to her i did say,
“since nature has formed us for to meet on this day —
since nature has formed us, won’t you give me your hand,
and we will walk together on the banks of the bann.”
now it being a summer’s evening and a fine quiet place,
i knew by the blushes that appeared on her face….
we both lay down together unto a bed of sand,
and she rolled into my arms on the banks of the bann.
“o young man, you have wronged me; won’t you tell me your name,
that when my babe is born i may give it the same?”
“my name is willie archer, and i’d have you understand
that my home and habitation lie close by the bann.
“but i cannot marry you, for apprenticed i’m bound
to the spinning and the weaving in rathfriland town.
but when my time is over i will give you my hand
and we will be married on the banks of the bann.”
so come all you fair maidens, take warning by me:
don’t go out a-courting at one, two, or three.
don’t go out a-courting so late if you can,
or you’ll meet with willie archer on the banks of the bann.
