The Maid of Sweet Brown Knowe Traditional Irish Song As performed by The Dubliners Come all you lads and lassies and listen to me a while I’ll sing to you a verse or two that’s sure to make you smile Concerning a young man I am going to tell you now     Who has lately come a courting the maid of the Sweet Brown Knowe. This young man says "My pretty maid will you come along with me? We’ll both fly off together and happy we will be We’ll join our hands in wedlock bands as I’m speaking with ya now And I’ll do me best endeavour for the maid of the Sweet Brown Knowe." This fair and fickle young thing she knew not what to say Her eyes did shine like diamonds bright and merrily did play She says "Young man your love subdue for I’m not ready now And I’ll spend another season at the foot of the Sweet Brown Knowe." The young man said "My pretty maid how can you answer so? See down in yonder valley where my crops do gently grow Down in yonder valley I have horses men and plough And they’re at their daily labor for the maid of the Sweet Brown Knowe." "If they’re at their daily labor kind sir ’tis not for me I’ve heard of your behavior I have indeed" says she "There is an inn where you call in and I’ve heard the people say That you rap and you call and you pay for all and come home at the break of day." "If I rap and I call and I pay for all me money is all me own I’ll never spend your fortune for I hear that you’ve got none You thought you had me poor heart won by meeting with ya now But I’ll leave ya where I found ya at the foot of the Sweet Brown Knowe."
