lyrics

One starry night as I lay sleeping
One starry night as I lay in bed
I dreamed I heard wagon wheels a-creakin
When I awoke my own love had fled

I'll search the highways likewise the byways
I'll search the botharíns, camping places too
I will enquire of all our people
Have they tide or tidings or a sight of you

For it’s many a mile with you I've travelled
Many’s the hour love with you I have spent
I dreamed you were my love for ever
But now I find love that you were only lent

I’ll go across the seas to England
To London or to Birmingham
And in some public house I’ll find you
Lamenting for your love back home

For it's many a mile with you I've travelled
Many's the hour love with you I have spent
I dreamed you were my love for ever
But now I find love that you were only lent

Well, I am drunk today, love, I am seldom sober
A constant rover from town to town
And when I'm dead and my travelling's over
Molly Bán a-stóirín come lay me down

For it's many a mile with you I've travelled
Many's the hour love with you I have spent
I dreamed you were my love for ever
But now I find love that you were only lent

One starry night as I lay sleeping
One starry night as I lay in bed
I dreamed I heard wagon wheels a-creakin
When I awoke my own love had fled
