Rankins - Tailor's Daughter lyrics

(Jimmy Rankin) Fell in love with the tailor's daughter I fell hard head over heels She showed me to her mother's parlour Then we walked up the tailor's stairs We courted well, we courted easy Courted well from spring to fall That tailor's daughter had me a-dreaming Visions of the wedding hall Lay me down in sheets of linen If you please I'll stay all night Come with me I'll dance at your wedding Around to the left and around to the right He'd stitch for her the finest gown Pure silk fashioned like no other They would come from miles around For to see the tailor's daughter With music in the village hall You would hear the church bell ringing Food and drink for one and all Every songbird singing Lay me down in sheets of linen If you please I'll stay all night Come with me I'll dance at your wedding Around to the left and around to the right I awoke in a far off place So alone and mistaken She'd gone off on the wedding night Left me forsaken I'm drifting high, I'm drifting low Flowing out like water Looking up down below Searching for the tailor's daughter Lay me down in sheets of linen If you please I'll stay all night Come with me I'll dance at your wedding Around to the left and around to the right Lay me down in sheets of linen If you please I'll stay all night Come with me I'll dance at your wedding Around to the left and around Around to the left and around Around to the left and around To the right
