Awake Ye Drowsy Sleepers (Early Morning Rain, 1965)
AWAKE YE DROWSY SLEEPERS
Awake awake you drowsy sleeper How can you lie and slumber so When your true love is a going to leave you And never to return any more.
How can you slumber on your pillow? When your true love must stand and wait And must I go and wear the willow In sorrow mourning for your sake.
O Molly deal go ask your father If you my ??, my bride can be And then return and quickly tell me An I no more shall trouble thee
O no I cannot ask my father He's lying on his bed of rest And in his hand is a silver dagger To pierce the one that I love best
Down in yon valley there grows a green yarrow I wish that yarrow shot through my breast It would end my dream, it would end my sorrow And set my troubled heart at rest.
