I must away now, I can no longer tarry This morning's tempest, I have to cross I must be guided, without a stumble Into the arms I love the most And when he came to his true love's dwelling He knelt down gently, upon a stone And through her window, he whispered lowly Is my true lover within at home Wake up, wake up love it is thine own true lover Wake up, wake up love and let me in For I am tired love and oh so weary
And more than near drenched to the skin She's raised her up, her down soft pillow She's raised her up, and she's let him in And they were locked in, each other's arms Untill that long night was past and gone And when that long night was pased and over And when the small clouds, began to grow He's taken her hand and they kissed ands parted Then he saddled and mounted, and away did go [Repeat first verse]
