"Seventeen Come Sunday", also known as "As I Roved Out", "One May Morning" and "The Soldier and the Maid" belongs to a genre known as 'Night Visiting Songs' - it's one of many traditional folk songs about young men visiting young women in their bed chambers in the middle of the night, much to their mother's dismay.

The origin of the song is unknown, and it has been performed with several different melodies.
