Fair weather often turns to rain…”

As I walk’d out one May morning

One May morning so early

I overtook a pretty fair maid

Just as the sun was dawning

With my rue-dum-day, fother-diddle-day

Fol, the dol, the diddle-um the day

Her shoes were bright, her stockings white

Her buckles shone like like silver

She had a dark and rolling eye

Her hair hung down her shoulder

With my rue-dum-day, fother-diddle-day

Fol, the dol, the diddle-um the day

Lyrics:

Mountains hum their mournful song,

And the river sighs as it glides along.

I lost my way, my heart, my throne,

In the realm where I once belonged.

I lost my way, my heart, my throne,

In the realm where I once called home.

Shelter me from the darkness
