Courting Is A Pleasure - Kate Rusby
Oh courting is a pleasure between my love and I
And down in yon green valley I'll meet her by and by
It was down in yon green valley she is my heart's delight
Oh Molly lovely Molly I will stay till the broad daylight
Oh going to church last Sunday my truelove she passed me by
I knew her mind had altered by the roving of her eye
I knew her mind had altered by a lad of high degree
Oh Molly lovely Molly your looks have wounded me
Then come her love WIlly with a bottle in his hand
Saying 'Drink this lovely Molly for our love can never stand '
Saying 'Drink this lovely Molly for the bottle must go free
Ten guineas I will wager that married we ne'er shall be
So never marry a fair young maid with a dark and roving eye
Just you kiss her and you embrace her never tell her the reason why
Just you kiss her and embrace her till you cause her heart to yield
For a faint-hearted soldier can never gain the field
So fair they well Ballymoney likewise you sweet Manshore
And fair thee well to the Cusky Braes will I never see you more
For America lies far away that land I must go see
And may all bad luck attend the one who parted my love and me
And may all bad luch attend the one who parted my love and me '
