00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.627
One evening of late 
as I carelessly strayed

00:00:08.627 --> 00:00:15.827
I espied a fair maid in deep mourn

00:00:15.827 --> 00:00:24.529
I asked her the matter, 
she quickly made answer

00:00:24.529 --> 00:00:33.049
I am weary from laying alone, alone

00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:41.639
I am weary from laying alone

00:00:41.639 --> 00:00:49.860
My comely young damsel, 
sit down here ’longside me

00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:56.569
And tell me the years that have flown

00:00:56.569 --> 00:01:04.868
Oh it’s seven and one and eleven years long

00:01:04.868 --> 00:01:22.495
That I’m weary from laying alone, alone
That I’m weary from laying alone

00:01:22.495 --> 00:01:31.773
If I’d a comely young man would take me without fortune

00:01:31.773 --> 00:01:38.395
And make me a wife of his own

00:01:38.395 --> 00:01:47.096
For the truth is I’ll say is I’ll die in despair

00:01:47.096 --> 00:01:56.328
If I lie any longer alone, alone

00:01:56.328 --> 00:02:04.484
If I lie any longer alone

00:02:04.484 --> 00:02:15.383
There’s a neat sweet little flower 
in this garden ’longside us

00:02:15.383 --> 00:02:22.183
Take it away, sure ’tis your own

00:02:22.183 --> 00:02:31.250
For the flower it will fade, 
and so also will the maid

00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:48.000
For she’s weary from laying alone, alone
For she’s weary from laying alone
