He Moved Through The Fair Trad. Lyrics, Arr. by Rising Gael
My young love said to me My mother won’t mind And my father won’t slight you For your lack of kind
And he stepped away form me And this he did say It will not be long love Till our wedding day
CHO And he stepped away from me And he moved through the fair And fondly I watched him Move here and move there And he made his way homeward With one star awake As the swan in the evening Moves over the lake
The people were saying No two were a-wed But that one had a sorrow That never was said
And I smiled as he passed me With his goods and his gear And that was the last I saw of my dear
CHO And he stepped away from me And he moved through the fair And fondly I watched him Move here and move there And he made his way homeward With one star awake As the swan in the evening Moves over the lake
I dreamt last night That my true love came in He came in so softly His feet made no din
And he came close beside me And this he did say It will not be long love Till our wedding day
CHO And he stepped away from me And he moved through the fair And fondly I watched him Move here and move there And he came close beside me And this he did say It will not be long love Till our wedding day (2x)
