King's Singers - Lamorna lyrics

rate me

So now I'll sing to you, about a maiden fair,

I met the other evening at the corner of the square.

She had a dark and roving eye, she was a charming

rover,

And we rode all night, through the pale moonlight

away down to Lamorna.

Chorus

Twas down in Albert square

I never shall forget,

Her eyes they shone like diamonds

and the evening it was wet, wet, wet.

Her hair hung down in curls,

she was a charming rover,

And we rode all night,

through the pale moonlight,

away down to Lamorna.

As we got in the cab, I asked her for her name,

And when she gave it me, well, mine it was the same,

So I lifted up her veil, for her face was covered over,

And to my surprise, it was my wife,

I took down to Lamorna.

Chorus

She said, I know you now, I knew you all along,

I knew you in the dark, but I did it for a lark,

And for that lark you'll pay, for the taking of the

donah:

You'll pay the fare, for I declare,

away down to Lamorna.

Chorus
