Dublin Fair Now And Ever After Lyrics

'Twas a morning fair when I walked out
down by Greenwood meadows.
Fairies danced in the misty dew
and the sun she chased the shadows.
By Spencil Hill I chanced to spy,
a maid so quite adoring
so sweetly she sang Avondale
it set my hearth a roving.

Love it fell out of the blue
and I went tumbling after
I only wish to be with you
for now and ever after
Love it fell out of the blue
and I went tumbling after
I only wish to be with you
for now and ever after

Her hair was black as a ravens wing,
her eyes were deep blue oceans
Skin was purest lily white
she set my heart a roving.
Boldly then she took my hand
my love she whispered gently,
come follow me to Avondale
where you and I shall marry

Love it fell out of the blue
and I went tumbling after
I only wish to be with you
for now and ever after.
Love it fell out of the blue
and I went tumbling after
I only wish to be with you
for now and ever after

Love it fell out of the blue
and I went tumbling after
I only wish to be with you
for now and ever after.

Like the morning mist she danced her way
down through Greenwood valley
And in the sky the sun she rose
and chased the nightly shadows
I stopped to pick a rose so red
to give to my true loved one,
but when I looked the mist was gone
and so was my lover.

Love it fell out of the blue
and I went tumbling after
I only wish to be with you
for now and ever after
