about

traditional, adapted by B. Gadbaw (with Apples in Winter, traditional)

lyrics

I am a country servant serving in Killane
In a place they call New Hamilton a grand old fashioned town
'Twas early in the morning at the break of day
I started along the Clady the auld grey mare and me
At the corner of the street a bus I chanced to pass
At the corner of the bus I spied a handsome charming lass
Says I my bonny fair maid come along with me
We're going along the Clady the auld grey mare and me

CHORUS
Cheeks as red as roses eyes of bonny blue
Dancing glancing she tore my heart in two
She fairly won my fancy she stole away my heart
A-rocking along the Clady on the sour milk cart

I asked her up into the cart and at the top we sat
I put my arms around her waist we started in a chat
The birds were in the bushes and softly they did sing
The blackbirds and the thrushes now they make the valleys ring

CHORUS

Well you've heard of lords and ladies making love in shady bowers
And how they love to woo among the roses and the flowers
I'll ne'er forget that morning when Cupid shot his dart
A-rocking along the Clady on the sour milk cart

CHORUS
