She Moved Through the Fair w/ Dolina MacKay

I once had a sweetheart, I loved her right well
I loved her far better than my tongue can tell
Her parents did slight me for want of some year
Adieu to all pleasure since I lost my dear

She went away from me
And moved through the fair
Where the hand clappin' dealers'
Loud shouts rent the air
The sunlight about her did sparkle and flame
Saying it will not be long love
'till our wedding day

When dew falls on meadows
And moths fill the night
When the glow from the creosote
Is half rose and half light
I will slip from my casement and I'll run away
Then it will not be long love
'till our wedding day

I dreamt it last night, my young love came in
She came creepin' so softly
Her feet made no din
She came steppin' up to me
And this she did say
It will not be long love 'till our wedding day
