Stef Hambrook - I'll Make My Love a Garland / Sylvie lyrics

[Verse 1] I'll make my love a garland - it shall be dressed so fine I'll deck it all with roses, and lilies mixed with thyme And I'll present it to my love, when he returns from sea For I love my love, and I love my love, because my love loves me [Verse 2] I wish I were a sparrow - I'd ascend into the air I'd hunt him like an arrow – and if he were not there I quickly would become a fish and search the raging sea For I love my love, and I love my love, because my love loves me [Verse 3] I wish I were a reaper - I'd seek him in the corn And if I were a hunter, I'd hunt him with my horn I'd sound a blast when found at last, beneath the greenwood tree For I love my love, and I love my love, because my love loves me [Hook] Sylvie Sylvie when no-one could see Dressed in men's clothing and gear so free With sword and pistol all by her side To meet her true love To meet her true love, Sylvie did ride [Verse 4] As she went riding over the plain She met her true love and bid him stand Stand and deliver sir she said Or else this moment Or else this moment, I'll shoot you dead [Verse 5] Oh when she'd robbed him of his store She said kind sir there's one thing more A diamond ring which I know you wear Deliver it Deliver it and your life I'll spare [Verse 6] My diamond ring a token is The ring I'll save and my life I'll give So tender hearted just like a dove She rode away She rode away from her own true love [Verse 7] Next morning in the garden green Just like two lovers they were seen Twas I that robbed you on the plain I've made you blush love So here's your watch love and gold again [Verse 8] I only did it for to know Whether you was my true love or no But now I have a contented mind My heart and all dear My heart and all dear, they are thine [Hook] Sylvie Sylvie when no-one could see Dressed in men's clothing and gear so free With sword and pistol all by her side To meet her true love To meet her true love, Sylvie did ride
