Kate Rusby - The Fairest Of All Yarrow lyrics

rate me

Billy's fair and Billy's rare

And Billy's wondrous bonny

And Billy promised to marry me

If e'er he'd marry any

And Billy promised to marry me

If e'er he'd marry any

Late last night I'm in my bed

Thinking on my lover

And there I waited all night long

My heart won't take another

Oh there I waited all night long

My heart won't take another

Came you by yon water side

Past the rose and lily

Or came you by yon meadow green

Or saw you my sweet Billy

Or came you by yon meadow green

Or saw you my sweet Billy

She's sought him east

And she's sought him west

She sought him broad and narrow

She sought him into another's arms

The fairest of all Yarrow

She sought him into another's arms

The fairest of all Yarrow
