On a cold winter's
night to gain delight
Good friends did gather true
In a cottage found outside the town
The
Tay and the
Port of
Dru
And track of cakes we did partake
And the music did us swerve
Cause then I first did think to court the
maid of the jet black curls
With stories so kind, she neatly entwined
The hearts of those that listened
Her smile, it shone as bright as the sun
Her cheeks like embers glistened
Her lovely brown eyes did rival the skies
And even the brightest of pearls
and casting a light over those who that night were
enthralled by the blade of black dirt.
All through the night long, well into the dawn,
I was ensnared by her charms.
I longed for the chance to
engage in romance
And embrace her all in my arms
But I was not bold, my desires untold
Were given no chance to un furl
So sadly that night my love went unrequited
By this maid with a hair of
dark curls
The truth, I will tell, I was under her spell
My thoughts could be of no others
But were they in vain,
could I e hope to gain her?
I was compelled to discover.
For if my affection should
meet with rejection,
Tis great the pain I'd endue.
But my feeling was strong,
that my heart did belong to
The pony made of black curls
Oh now I have learned that
my love is returned
And all by the soft maiden so fair
It's now I will mention it is my intention
On her my full love to declare
May
God bless my plan to exchange wedding
With this dark and beautiful girl
And may never we know
One minute of woe
Myself and the maid of
black pearls
You
