Morning Dew
He was a Shepherd's son
Kept sheep upon a hill
He lay his crook and pipe aside
And there He slept his fill
He looked east and he looked west
Then gave an under look
There he spied a fair lady
Swimming in a brook
He raised his head from his green bed
Then approached the maid
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And be ye not afraid
Tis fitter for a lady fair
To sew a silken seam
Than get up on a may morning
And strive against the stream
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
If you'll not touch my mantle
And leave my clothes alone
I'll give you as much money
As you can carry home
I'll not touch your mantle
And I'll leave your clothes alone
I'll take you out the clear water
My dear to be my own
She's climbed out the clear water
He's taken her in his arms
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And hide those lovely charms
He's mounted her on a milk white steed
Himself upon another
And all along the way they rode
Like sister and like brother
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
When they came to her father's gate
She's twirled upon the pin
Ready stood the porter there
To let the fair made in
When the gate was opened
Nimbly she's whipped in
Pow! You're a fool without she says
And I'm a maid within
So fare-thee-well my modest boy
And thank you for your care
But had you done what you should do
I'd never have left you there
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
Kept sheep upon a hill
He lay his crook and pipe aside
And there He slept his fill
He looked east and he looked west
Then gave an under look
There he spied a fair lady
Swimming in a brook
He raised his head from his green bed
Then approached the maid
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And be ye not afraid
Tis fitter for a lady fair
To sew a silken seam
Than get up on a may morning
And strive against the stream
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
If you'll not touch my mantle
And leave my clothes alone
I'll give you as much money
As you can carry home
I'll not touch your mantle
And I'll leave your clothes alone
I'll take you out the clear water
My dear to be my own
She's climbed out the clear water
He's taken her in his arms
Put on your clothes my dear he says
And hide those lovely charms
He's mounted her on a milk white steed
Himself upon another
And all along the way they rode
Like sister and like brother
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
When they came to her father's gate
She's twirled upon the pin
Ready stood the porter there

So fare-thee-well my modest boy
And thank you for your care
But had you done what you should do
I'd never have left you there
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
Blow away the morning dew
The dew, the dew
Blow away the dew
Blow away the morning dew
How sweet the winds do Blow
